Hello Everyone

[ChunckyDumplin]

Well hey there everyone! My name is Leigh Ann, and I'm starting Atkins today, im 22 and from KY. Im so excited to try it *again* and I'm nervos. Im always failing, this time I want to stick to it and accept it as a way of life. This board is AWESOME, ive been gathering recipes and reading and seeing before and after pics, ITS SUCH AN INSPERATION!.. I have a looooooooooong way to go, but, i can do this......................... *scared voice* Cant I? :yes

Hi and welcome!!!! You can do this! This board and the CC is the best place to get the support and information you need to do it!

I highly recommend doing Induction for as long as you can. Do a clean induction, no low-carb products, etc., lots of water and exercise, no soda caffeine etc.

I found that doing this helped changed my eating habits and tastes forever and has made this WOE much easier and successful than any other "diet" out there. And I know I have metabolic resistance and I'm still losing weight (slowly but it is working!)

I only wish I had started this years ago.

Good luck and hope to see "less" of you soon!

Welcome, Leigh Ann....you're in the best place for support. I've tried this diet with the ADBB, and I've tried it without. DEFINITELY easier with! Best of luck with you, and you CAN do it! Just keep telling yourself that, each time stronger and stronger. And the best thing you can do should you fall, is get RIGHT back up, don't give it a chance to make you feel guilty, and keep right on a trekin'

Hi Leigh Ann,

You really can do this! I started about a month ago, and the first couple of days were rough, but it's been smooth sailing ever since! Hang in there!!! :nod

Awesome! So glad to have you aboard the Loser Express! NEXT STOP: ONEDERLAND!

I'll agree, if you really want to help yourself, do yourself the huge favor of doing a clean induction. Also, I don't recall if you mentioned it, but if you do not have a copy of DANDR, you need to get yourself one and read it. I think you will find it an inspirational and informative read.

Once again, congratulations on deciding to change your life! Here for you if you need me.
