Hey guys,

I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. DoughBoy, call me Dough.
You'll see me around quite a bit. I've been lurking here for a while. I've
been fat all of my life (I don't use 'heavy' to describe it. I'm fat.). In
June of 1998 I decided to do something about it. At 316 pounds and barely
out of adolescence, I made the change to eating LC via the Atkins plan.
From June, 1998 till Feb 1999 I lost 108 pounds to a svelte 208. I was going
to the gym for an hour every morning doing cardio and lifting hard every
night...then I fell off the wagon in a bad way. Now, closing in on 360,
I've gone back to LC.

Welcome to the group, Dough! You know the drill, so we probably can't tell you
anything you don't already know, but, as you've seen during lurking, it's a GREAT
group for support and inspiration! I don't know how well I would have done
without it, and it helps to keep me motivated and on track! (Look at all those
exclamation marks -- I should start writing copy for a mail order catalog!)

PS I've got some great recipes for you guys to try out.

Bring it on!
