Hi Mrs Hobo, welcome!!!!

Okay, this is an old thread, but sometimes it is nice to look back and remember why we are fighting this battle in the first place. Check out what you wrote Shennie. So perfect for right now, I think.

i am loving this thread. i have to tell my story, but i'm at work and it will take too long. In short, I was feeling sorry for myself. I did the Atkins diet about 5 years ago and lost 80 pounds, but gained it back. My family was going through a lot. My DB was injured in a terrible motorcycle accident and was left paralyzed. During his recovery, I ate and ate .... all the way back up to my old size. 5 years later, I'm heavy again and I was tired of looking and feeling the way I did and wanted to look and feel the way I was feeling "inside." I was becoming majorly insecure and shy. I didn't want to go out, (clubbing, shopping, etc.) because I was ashamed of the way I looked. My husband never had a problem with my weight (so he says) because he always says that he'll love me no matter what. I just had to do it for my own well being. I'm glad I did. Now I'm enjoying the benefits of being healthier and thanking my DH's cousin for introducing me to LAWL!! I'm thanking myself for finding a group of friend in this forum!! Thank you.

Hi everyone I have been lurking in the background for a while. What controversy are you talking about. I have heard nothing.

Oh--way back someone came onto this thread pointing out another 3FC thread will all this negative LAWL stuff so this was started to remind us why we are doing it. People who aren't successful love to complain--like it's the programs' fault and not their own. Please. Those kind of people usually drop in, spew their negativity and disappear again. Good riddance.
