First time over here

[macs4us]

Wow - you guys are doing great!!!

At one time I was one of those people others hate - could eat anything, never really excercised. At 5'8" I usually weighed in at 113lbs, and a size 5. Then I got in a car accident, and that changed everything. The meds to repair the damage permanently screwed up my metabolism, and I have never been without pain since the accident - making it difficult to exercise. My weight has doubled in 8 years, even though I have been eating less than I ever have in my life. The weight has made the pain worse - and that's why I need to lose it.

Low fat just made me gain weight, and I did Atkins for a month and lost weight. Then I went off, and it came back. UGH!!!

I am starting Atkins again, and am craving al those bad carbs!!! My problem is that I am a very picky eater, and I don't eat a lot of things that are staples (eggs in particular). It will be ok - I know it's hard, but in the long run I feel better without the carbs.

I just wanted to let you guys know how inspirational you all are, and that I support you guys all the way.

Good luck everyone!!!

Hi macs4us! I started today too. I'm not an egg eater either. I've decided I'll have lunch foods for breakfast. So what if anyone thinks I'm nuts, my famliy has known that for years! Good Luck!

<b>macs4us</b> I'm so glad to see you here on WISH. Will you be joining my support group? I sure hope so, the WISH support group is such a help to me.

I follow the Akins nutritional plan too. Lots of WISHers follow that way of eating. So I do hope you will join us here.

If you decide to take the challenge you can add the WISH member clipart to your signature. There is a great post telling you how to do that right <b>HERE</b>.

There are WISHers who follow every imaginable eating plan represented here. The best part is that regardless of which eating plan we follow we all come together to form the most helpful and inspirational support group, I have ever seen.

After you add your clipart would you take a minute and post to the challenge thread? It's right <b>HERE</b>. It helps me not leave anyone from the club roster.

one of the best darn "losers" that you will ever find. Just thought I would say "hello" and welcome to you newbies and it is so homey here you will just love it! Lots of Atkins folks to get you through your slumps and cheer with you as loud as cyberspace can stand and lots of WW point counters to do the same. So you see we are all just the same - longing to be a loser and welcome to you!

Welcome to WISH!!!

I don't know a lot about Atkins but I know there are lots of great success stories here about Atkins WISHers. I personally follow WW but I still love to give motivation and be supportive to everyone else.
