brand new to the site, looking to find some new friends & support for this adventure.... just started last week but seems promising so far! dropped 8.8 lbs since tuesday, i'm trying the atkins & phentermine route...drinking lots of protein shakes and eating very few carbs (i miss potatoes so much)....

anyway, greetings!

Welcome! There is a lot of great support here, take a look around and post away!

Just a warning-phentermine made me crazy and has essentially destroyed my metabolism. Be very careful.

good luck with the weight loss. This is a great place to find friend/help.I'll have to admit however, i'm not a big fan of atkins...seen too many loss quickly only to gain it right back...also seen too many "go off the deep end" without some carbs. I also have seen some medical problems from atkins. I do believe everything in moderation and slow weight loss is the key to long term/life goal weight maintenace...But i do wish you luck..we all are in the same boat in one form or another.
