A very warm welcome to you, Kerri! I'm glad you found us. I know a couple of our buddies are doing Atkins. I tried it myself about 4 years ago, and lost quite a bit in the first month (8 pounds). I've since switched to a different approach, since I can not live without fruit. ;o) Everybuddy here does whatever works for them, and we all encourage each other along the way, so I hope you stick around and jump right in!


I look forward to getting to know you better...good luck in your efforts!

Hi, Kerri! Welcome to the board! I'm pretty new here, super inspired, and wishing mightily that I could weigh myself but my scale isn't working. I keep thinking that it sounds like I broke it by standing on it--like the Garfield comic where the scale tells him "one at a time!"--but the unfortunate truth is that it was one of those sophisticated electronic gizmos that would tell you what you had for lunch and do your taxes for you, and my poor DH attacked it with an overdose of Lysol or something. At any rate, my mental pilings are on 187, which was the last number I saw about 5 weeks ago. I'm exercising and taking measuremnts every 10-12 days, and I'm hoping for some progress! I have three kids, too: DS Wallace will turn one on 6/18, DD Victoria turns six on 7/1, and DS Hunter, three, is my middle child.

Now that you know more than you'd probably care to know about me, I look forward to getting to know more about you!

Hi kerri,

I am Carol From Iowa and I want to say WELCOME to a great board. Everyone here is awesome and will support and motivate you! I am not doing a strict low carb but am trying to get get less and less carbs.i know what will send me off on a binge so I definatly stay away from those. i have found some wondefful recipes and now totaly knowlow carb is for me.I always thought I had to eat meat and that was it.I know understand that is not the case!! I have a wonderful MOCK POTATOE salad that is just so good. My Hubby is NOT on low carb and he got into my salad last night and didn't notice it was cauilflower instead of potaotes!! The only thing he said that was kinda dry ..well I din't intend for him to eat it and I don't like lots of mayo!!LOL Next time I will add more!So glad you are here and will be seeing you around here often!
