Wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'll be lurking and posting here and there, happy to find a new forum so positive along my journey! Can't wait, a few months from now, to post my own success story!

Welcome! ...... And yes, they are cuties.

Welcome, stop lurking, and start posting. We are glad to have you. Cute little guys you have there!

Hey Mommy and welcome to my board! I look forward to seeing you post here early and often. THANKS for your presence.

Welcome!!

Looks like you've already had some success!!! Congrats!

Hi Cindy!

I finally joined today. Great to see you here. I'm still exploring.

Cheers! Carol (From Kudos)

Explore away, Carol! You are a WELCOME face here.

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome! I just found this place last week, but I am already adicted to it There are some really wonderful people here. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Thanks all! Looks like a very sincere, warm forum, yay!

I guess I'll add my intro in here as well. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks but just joined a couple of days ago.

I did Kimkins (tweaked somewhat with occasional extra fats) for eight months this year, losing 65 lbs after losing my first 23 floundering around with Weight Watchers. I then stopped Kimkins in mid-August after some of the side effects became worrisome. Since then I've just been spinning my wheels trying to figure out what to do next. And I gained back 10 lbs pretty quickly, which was a bit unnerving.

As of this week, I think I'm pretty much back on Atkins and am hoping that I can at least stop the freefall and get the losses moving in the right direction again. I'm going to be 50 in a couple of weeks and am really worried about my metabolism slowing down with all this hormone stuff getting ready to happen

We'll see. I'm looking for inspiration from anyone who has moved from Kimkins to another program and continued their losses. Thanks!

MARLAMP--MOMMY--CAROL,

So glad ya'll decided to step across our threshold...sorry about the welcome mat. It's gotten a little thread bare because so many of us have paused here, under the guise of wiping our feet, when what we're really doing is taking a deep breath before walking in.

If we'd known you were coming we'd have baked a...ummm, we'd have baked up a cheesecake. Time for that later. Now claim your kitchen chair, look out the window over our living rainbow, and tell us who you are, and how you be.

MOMMY--I had to run look in the den for my pound puppy, because he looks just like yours.

Hey Marlamp, it's AWESOME to see you here and I'm happy you landed out of lurkerland in my forum. Please make yourself at home and let me know how we can make your experience here the best it can possibly be.

Hey Marlamp, nice to meet you! Looking forward to getting to know you better.

Hi Marla!! Welcome!!

Thanks, all. It's nice to be here.

The good news is that today I'm *finally* back down to 5 lbs above my KK low weight rather than the 8 to 10 I've been fumbling with for the last month. Maybe Atkins will work for me after all!

Yes it will...keep doing it, Maria, and you're gonna get there. Did I tell you I'm VERY proud of you? Well, I just did!!!
