Hello!.....I was hoping I could figure out how to do the color thing ....but this site is still a mystery to me. I am here,like you wanting,and needing to do something about this extra baggage I carry around. My GOAL is to not have to have this my major goal,taking up ever single waking min.and some nights. I want to do it,(and I will)and get to where I want to be....because I know I know how to maintain.....I did it for 20yrs. then life got in the way,and started playing with me,and I let my emotions,and my hormones take charge. But......after all is said and done,I stand b4 you a NON-SMOKER!(NOT EVEN ONE PUFF) for almost 2yrs.!!TaDA!!! my anniversary is coming up next week.....as well as a major birthday....really REALLY MAJOR.....and so I've decided,that while I'm gratefull I'm growing old.....there's not much I can do about the tic-tock of time, I don't have to be FAT and OLD.....so I'm committed to doing what I can about what I can.....and that's lose some fat. I've got books and books and books,and no time to read....but I will have a more organized plan soon, in the meantime....no bread/rice/potatoes/pasta...or at least hardly any....and sugar. However caffine .....2cups a day is still with me,although I have given that up too at one point. WW doesn't work for me...tried it,and gave up after a month....although I do think its probably the best all around diet....for me I think it carbs and sugar.....I eat lots of fresh veggies,and chicken on a regular basis..and have enjoyed tofu as well....so I'm open,and please any low carbers out there who want to take me unde their wing...feel free.....and anyone else for that matter....just give me all the advice you can to give. Thanks for listening,and it's a pleasure to meet you. ....tutu
All you have to do to join is to hit the "post reply" button at the bottom of any group of messages (called a "thread"), and then you can type a message to that particular group of people. Any of the groups will welcome you with open arms, and there's an enormous amount of support and goodwill, everywhere you look!
Here's a link to a bunch of low carb threads: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/foru...1000&forumid=4
To use colors, just click on the arrow of the space that says "color" above a message that you're typing. Select the color you want to use and a little window will open up for you to type in. When you want to change color, hit the "OK" button and the text will be entered into your message. There's a lot of explanations for how to do various things under "help" at the top of the screen.
Good luck in your quest for weight loss! You can do it!
Hi Tutu, I'm new too! This place sure is big..but looks like there are alot of great ideas and support to be had. I'm also trying to eat a lower card diet and eliminate sugar as well, so maybe we can help each other,what do say? Will look forward to chatting with you both again sometime soon, right now I need to fire up the grill, its barbie time for me. Take care.....Autumnasia
Hope you find exactly the support you are looking for at the low carb threads Babette linked you to and all over the site here ... it's really a huge resource with so many different types of support and information and great people. Good luck on your journey.
Welcome to our world...so to speak...this is a great site... I lurk here alot, and always come away with great incentive and encouragement... I do post at times too...lol But I always seem to be in a rush and my posts are sometimes short...
I love a lo carb diet too...I feel much better when eating lo-carb and no sugars....sugar is terrible....
Anyways gotta go take care and PM me any time....
Lana...
