You know, I've seen this board for awhile now and thought "nope that's not me, I don't need to publicize my weight loss trials and tribulations"
Maybe I was wrong.
I've been on the Adkins low car diet for a month as of 9/8 and have lost 16lbs as of last monday, I weigh myself every monday. My ambitious short term goal is 50 lbs by the time we head off to WDW. That would be another 34 lbs (math major) in 88 days. I would have to say that it is possible if I start increasing my excercise and water intake.
Wish me luck!
...and I love the low carb recipes!!

Hi <b>jdads2</b>! It's great to see you here. I'm glad you decided to join us. Sounds like you have had some pretty terrific success with Atkins, so far. Good job!
I follow the Atkins plan, too, and so do many other WISHers. If you need information about the program or need ideas for atkins friendly meals, all you have to do is ask.
Would you do me a favor and post to the WISH challenge thread too? Posting there makes you an official WISHer. You will find the Challenge thread right <b>HERE</b> (http://disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=323029)
I think you're going to like it here. Our WISH support group is a very helpful group of men and women and you are going to fit right in. Visit us often. Participate, too. When you participate on WISH you help yourself and everyone else.
I'm just tickled that you are part of my support group, now. WELCOME!

Good to see you here! I lurked this board for six months before I made the commitment (last week). Like you, I felt like it was no one else's business. Hello?!? Everyone can SEE the problem, so what am I trying to hide from?
You'll like it here. There's lots of support, some great recipes (at the top) and super motivation! When I get hungry now, I just come to this board and it keeps me on the straight and narrow.
Good luck! I know you'll be able to shed lots of pounds before your WDW trip. Just think, everything you lose is that much less that you'll have to haul around the parks!

Welcome to WISH Dave. I started my weight loss programme and WISH at the beginning of Aug. and I have to say that I haven't felt this much support before when I have tried to lose weight. WISHers are the best!!

Welcome to the WISH board, jdads2!!
You'll find that everyone here is really supportive and caring. And you'll also find that everyone progresses toward their goal at a different pace.
I'm good for at least one whine a week... but nativetxn kicks my behind and keeps me in line.
I'll be looking forward to your 'WISH' clippie in your signature!!
