This is probably the fourth...

[mystical]

This is definitely not my second time trying Atkins... possibly the 4th. But it's got to be the final time, the time i'm successful. All the pictures and stories are inspiring me, so I wanted to pop my head in and say hello.

We're here to listen, give support and, most importantly, to give you positive oomphies for every little thing that goes right! You're going to be a success if you believe! Remember: it's not about perfection. It's about sticking with it!

Hiya mystical,
Well everybody before me is right, so I don't have to retype what they just said!

This is my second time, and my last--I'm going to make it work for the rest of my life. I didn't think I would be able to until I joined this board. I've learned sooooooooooo much!

Welcome.

Re: This is probably the fourth...

You know, this is the first time I've started a diet and felt happy about it. Every other time I feel deprived and hungry right off the bat. This time I feel confident.

I've been reading about the "induction flu" so I'm prepared for that. And I've already bought some of those ketosis sticks. I don't want to depend on them but It will be fun to keep an eye on them.

Thanks again to all of you!

Re: This is probably the fourth...

I know how you feel it's a relief to GET A GRIP, isn't it...to stop the spiral downard is a great feeling...It's that point where it clicks and we just do it...no matter what, we do it! I've been there! I am there...I do it no matter what...
You can do this mystical...just get alot of water down and keep the advil near by and by day 3 or 4 you should go into ketosis...
