  • Hello, I'm new

    I posted on the main board, but I belong here. My name is lisa, mother of two boys, divorced three years. I actually doubled my weight in an unhappy marriage. 150 to 327 was my top weight, that i knew. Currently at 247 and on day 13 of induction, I started at 255. Until I read some posts on a clean induction, I was using the adkins bars, etc. I gained, but now am back going good. Getting the book tonight after work and will read it and learn more about the woe. I'm excited to be here. :joy and look forward to meeting you and learning from you. The stats and photos tell it all, you guys are great.

              thankyou

              Thanks everyone for the welcome. I have had a really good day. I did get to half price books and found two Atkins books. I guess the old one and the new. I'm going to peruse them now, I'm hyped lol. Now i have to force myself to exercise.

                    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
