Hi everyone.

I would first like to thank Alreadyexcitedgrammy for letting me know about this great site. I have been reading some of the past threads. They all are very encouraging .

I have been an overweight person , most of my life and I always wanted to be at a healthy weight , but I never did anything about it really serious enough to be at a healthy weight. Until May of "02 I had heard about the Atkins Diet , I thought that I would try it. I made a goal for myself and said that I was going to lose 10 pounds in a month. I can be strong and do that , I kept telling myself. 10 pounds sounded alot better than the 100 that I need to get off. So, I did it and I lost 12 pounds in that month. I was so happy and I realized that I was a carboholic, I did lose 35lbs then, I did a big back slide and gained 10bs. back over the Holidays. But since 1/04 I have been very strick with my self except on Valentines Day I ate way to much of the wrong things and I got so sick and I paid for it. I promised myself that I will never to that again.
I also have joined Curves this week. Which is a great program and alot of fun.
I am not alone in this weight battle, my family is eating healthier and working out too.
I wish everyone the best of luck,
Tammy
Wish us luck too.
 
Tammy-
Great to see you here at WISH!! I am also on Atkins, you will find some excellent support here on these boards!!
Congratulations on bringing your family in on your healthier lifestyle--GREAT JOB committing to Curves!! You are on your way to a whole new you!!!
See ya!
:hyper:
 
Hi Tammy:wave2: and welcome to WISH!

A big CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family on committing to a healthier lifestyle change! I, too, needed to lose @100 pounds. It took @15 months, but I am now down 110lbs. (I did it through portion control and consistent exercise, although I got a jump start by losing 30 after bleeding ulcer surgery). At WISH, there are people doing many different programs, but one of the things we have in common is that we're all here to support and encourage each other!

I can't wait to read all about your successes, Tammy! We're all here for you! And I know Bev will be keeping an eye out for you, too--she's such a positive and fun part of WISH!

We're so glad you've joined us Tammy! :sunny:
 
Hi Tammy:

Welcome to you and your family. This is a great site to come to for ideas and encouragement on your journey.:)
 

Hey there, Tammy, Good to have you WISHing with us! I am also on Atkins, and there is lots of support from everyone here on the board.. and no judgements when we slip and fall. Hope to see you back soon, and here is a :hug: for encouragement!
 
Hi Tammy. Welcome to WISH!!:wave:
It sounds like you are resolved to live a healthier lifestyle. Good for you!! I hope you have lots of success and look forward to hearing more from you.
 
Welcome to WISH, Tammy! I'm so glad you decided to join us and I hope you will visit often.

If you haven't done so already, would you do me a favor and post to our WISH Challenge thread too? I use this thread to compose our member roster and if you don't post there I might leave you out. I would hate for that to happen.

You will find the challenge thread right <b>HERE</b>

Welcome Tammy!!!!

You're going to love Curves!! It is loads of fun, and no judgements from others!

You're going to love WISH - there is such a wonderful support system here
 
Tammy, welcome to WISH. This is a great place to receive encouragement and support. I too have been overweight all my life and never EVER thought I could take this weight off.

With my DH doing South Beach with me and the support I get from this board, I have been able to lose more weight in the past 3 months than I ever have on any other program before.

You will be successful because you have your real life family and your WISH family pulling for you! :)
 
Tammy- I just knew you would love it here and once we say somethings "outloud" to our friends just makes it a little easier to be more accountable - cuz' now we know they heard us!

You can do it - well - you are right now - so just keep on and you will be a "great" loser and gainer at the same time (gaining a lifestyle that will be much better for you and your family) ;)

See ya around - AEG

and a great place to be accountable on a short time frame is the committers thread week 7 - just stop by and you will see - we just post what we are committed to do (like your curves sessions) and then come back and tell us if you did it. Some great WISH friends hang around there and will give you some encouragement too!
 
Hi Tammy:wave2:
Welcome i'm sure you'll like it here

i am also on atkins and loving it
but when i slip off plan these guys are great about helping get back with it

glad your here to join the fun:D
