[Wagamama]

ok, guys...i'm in too! I'm going to try the Zone.

 

[webmomom]

Thank you for getting me back WW. I have already lost 55lbs with WW, but stopped going in June. I just needed something to get me started again going. I still want to lose 30 to 35 lbs. I have not gained any since June, but have not lost anymore.

ok - I'm in - I don't know what I am going to do - but I have to do something......

<b>TeresaNJ</b> Welcome to our happy little support group (just ignore the grumpy ones going through carbohydrate withdrawal they will be more cheerful on their weigh in day)

I'm really glad you decided to join us. I'm on Atkins too and so is my husband, we have done very well with this way of eating. He has controlled his diabetes and lowered his cholesterol and triglycerides already.

No lurking on WISH, now, you join right in with us, okay? We can help you with that willpower stuff

<b>Nikole</b> Woohoo! It's great to see you here. Hurry up and add your WISH challenge clipart now, that way when you weigh in on Wednesday you might be able to trade up to the 5 pound loss clippie.

I'm so glad you are here on WISH with us. Now be sure and visit WISH everyday...okay, too often? How about every other day? Oh alright, my final offer is visit us once a week. Don't make me have to track you down, Nik, you know how annoying I can be

<b>FOJMO</b> Welcome to WISH, I'm glad you decided to join us. We have a really great support group here. Visit us often, I need lots of encouragement

<b>momsal</b> Just send Kelsie a pm and ask her for help, or ask any moderator to help you with the clipart, or you could even ask for help on the Technical Support Board, they are really nice about helping over there.

I'm glad you decided to join our support group. Will you be following Atkins? I sent you the rules for induction last night

<b>Wagamama</b> Woohoo!! Great to see you here. Good luck following the Zone eating plan, I understand it is a really good program.

Please visit WISH often, we have a great support group here and you are a terrific addition

<b>webmomom</b> Welcome to WISH. I think you are going to find that visiting WISH often helps to keep you motivated and on track. That's what it does for me.

There are lots of WW people here on WISH and lots of support here from people following all kinds of weight loss eating plans.

I'm so glad you are going to be part of my support group, now. Good for you for making the decision to redouble your WW efforts. You are going to do just great, I'm sure of it.

I am really very impressed with you. Imagine dropping WW last June and not gaining <i>any</i> weight. Way to go!

<b>ABCmom</b> Hi Cathy! It's great to see you here on WISH. You're going to love all of the support and encouragement you find here.

Shall I put you down as following a sensible eating plan?

Visit us often, please. It is so helpful when everyone participates here

If any of you want to add the Challenge clipart to your signature there are instructions telling you how to do that along with the url for the clipart right <b>HERE</b> Our own wovenwonder wrote these instructions for us, didn't she do a great job?

Okay, everyone....Ready, Set? <b>Go!</b>

Ok this crosses into the realm of TMI but...........why is it that for my very first weigh in after being REALLY good all week......eating well and exercising.......... that due to um mother nature my weight will probably be "off". ARGH


LOL Kath hmmmmmmmmm getting a smidge pushy already are ya ......taking lessons from Kels again? to both of you HUGS

 

[Beanie]

Hi Nikster!! So good to see you here!!

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

Welcome to all the new inductees - be ready to bombarded with support - how else do you think a "lifer" (dieted for as long as I can remember) can FINALLY begin to be a "Loser"! Without all the support on WISH and now my PMbuddies, too - I would have never stuck to it. Your presence makes for my accountability and I love it - thanks

 

[DISNEYBIGGDOGG]

KELSIE, I STARTED THE ATKINS DIET ON APRIL FIRST AND LOST 20 LBS IN THE FIRST 17 DAYS. I WILL WEIGH MYSELF AGAIN AT THE END OF THE MONTH AND LET YOU KNOW.

 

[maryliz]

OK ... I'm in! I am not dieting (motivationally, I'm just not to that point yet). Hoping that going to Curves will start making some difference. And I may not be dieting, but I'm also not buying anything at the grocery store for dh knowing that I will eat it too! He's missing his "chips and dip" on Survivor night (LOL).

Nativetxn -- thanks for the warm welcome on one of my posts. You certainly make everyone feel really welcome here!

Testing my new clip art!

Hi DISNEYBIGGDOGG! Welcome to the DIS and welcome to WISH. I'm really glad you decided to join us.

We have a wonderful support group here. Lots of really nice and supportive people following all different kinds of eating plans. You are great addition to our group.

I follow the Atkins nutritional plan too. I love it. I lost 20 pounds before I took the WISH challenge too but my clipart says 10 pounds because that's how much I've lost since taking the challenge. We start at zero and then trade up to the 5 pound loss clippie when we lose the first 5 pounds on the WISH challenge. Bummer, huh? I know...me too. But you will be trading up to that 5 pound loss clippie very soon, I'm sure of it.

If you would like to add the DIS WISH clipart to your signature there is a great post written by our own wovenwonder telling you how to do that right <b>HERE</b> Why don't you add your total weight loss right beneath the challenge clipart, that's what I did. I wanted credit for all of my success

Okay, onward and downward, my new friend. No fair lurking, we need you to participate here on WISH. It's so helpful to me

<b>maryliz</b> Thank you for the compliment but it's really selfish on my part. Every new person on WISH is a new member of my support group and that helps <i>me</i>. See how that works? You will see, the support group is going to help <b>you</b> too

I'm so glad you are taking the challenge and please visit us often. I need all the help I can get

That clipart looks really good on you, it really brings out the color of your eyes. Now don't get too attached, you will be trading up to that 5 pound loss clippie very soon, I'm sure of that.

HEY, wait a minute!! Kath's the pushy one, I'm the shy, sweet, reserved one!!

 

[disneyfan551]

I love this board!!! You guys are so wonderful! It's a great break from my work day to read your posts!

 

[nativetxn]

Hey, Tiff, you are pretty wonderful yourself!

Kelsie...you are shy and reserved? You should have <i>told</i> me, I didn't notice that part last October when we had lunch

That's right Nik, Kelsie and I are pushy-that's why you love us so much- because we are so much like you

 

[OllieDannyandMe]

Hello, Everyone! My name is Amy.

WOW! I am so impressed with the posts that I read. I weigh more now than I ever have, and I've been meaning to start a diet, but just haven't found the motivation...until NOW!

I am amazed at the results some people have gotten with the Atkin's Diet, so I'll do a little research on it tonight. I'd love to lose some of the weight quickly. It makes it easier to keep at it when things start to level off.

I'll be at the Caribbean Beach Resort for the 4th of July. I sure would like to look and feel good.

Do you all have specific "weigh-in" days of the week? Or do you just start with the day you join? Anyway, count me in! I'm committin'

My goal is to lose 50 pounds overall, but I'd be thrilled with 30 pounds sometime this summer.

All tips and advice welcome here! Thank you all.

Oh and Kels........BWAHAHAHA you shy and reserved........rotfl

Hi OllieDannyandMe! Welcome to the DIS and a special welcome to WISH. I am truly glad you decided to join us here.

We have lots of people eating the Atkins way (me for one) and following other plans, too. You are going to make a terrific addition to our support group.

If you would like to add the WISH clipart to your signature there is a great post telling you how to do that right <b>HERE</b>. Don't get too attached to that challenge clipart, though, you will be trading up to the 5 pound clipart very soon.

We all have different weigh in days. I weigh in tomorrow. You can choose any day of the week you want as your weigh in day.

We have a great support group here. I'm so glad you are going to be part of it now.

I'm going to add you to the list, I hope that's alright. Don't be shy, now. Join in here on WISH. I think you're going to like it here. There is a lot of support, motivation and fun waiting for you.

Prepare to be <b>successful</b>!

We have a very helpful and caring support group here. Just about every discipline of weight loss plan is represented

I'm really glad you are going to be a WISHer too. Don't get too attached to that member clipart, you will be trading up to the 5 pound clipart very, very soon, I just know it

I want to loose 20 lbs, but will be happy with 15. I just had a baby in November and I had JUST lost 25 lbs. guess it's a good thing I lost it. I will be doing Weight Watchers and exercise and LOTS of water.
