New to Newsgroup

Hello everyone,

I just discovered this newsgroup yesterday, and it's wonderful to read
things from other low-carb dieters like myself. I started almost a year
ago, on May 1, 2003. I've lost 52 lbs so far, from 248.5 to 196.5. My
ultimate goal is 185, cause that's what I weighed in High School. I've been
on Usenet off and on since 1995. (You can do a Google Groups search that far
back) I'm mainly known as "ClabberHead" on the weird al, MST3K, and Star
Trek Enterprise newsgroups, but in the Iron Chef newsgroup, I'm "Iron Chef
Atkins." I used to be "Iron Chef Hamburger Helper" but that changed last
year as I started creating my own low-carb dishes.

I see you have a couple of trolls in here. I guess that's going to be
the way it is in any newsgroup. It's funny though, he says we're all big
fat, fatty, fatsos, and losers, but he spends all his time on a newsgroup
just to insult people. Who's the real loser here?

I'll probably be lurking most of the time. But I'll throw in a comment
every now and then, when the time seems right. If you want to see my
picture, go to lowcarbfriends.com and look in the faces gallery. My pic is
posted in the Inspiration Gallery. See y'all around!

Q: How many tech support people does it take to change a light bulb?
A: We have an exact copy of the light bulb here and it seems to be
working fine. Can you tell me what kind of system you have? Okay, just
exactly how dark is it? Okay. There could be four or five things
wrong. Have you tried the light switch?

Lo Clabberhead. Welcome to the ng. You've come a long way in the past
year or so. Good for you! I've been around usenet since 1994 or so,
but I don't think we've frequented the same groups. I change names
regularly. Here I use my real name. Go figure.

Hi ClabberHead, welcome to the group! You're doing a great job, obviously! I
started Atkins about 6 weeks later than you did and have lost 47 lbs, so we seem
to be losing at about the same rate.

Couldn't find your photo, at least not under the name of Clabberhead. You might
want to post a URL to it instead.

In that case, you'll want to append to your sig:

"248/196/185 Low-carb since 5/1/2003"

just to bug those who'd kill for numbers like that.

I started
almost a year ago, on May 1, 2003. I've lost 52 lbs so
far, from
248.5 to 196.5. My ultimate goal is 185

Some of us have worked very hard to have numbers like that.
Many others here have been patiently working their way to
get to their respective goals...at least since I've been
participating in this group.

In any case, ClabberHead, congratulations on your success so
far and best wishes on your continued progress.
