  • It's been awhile...

    Hi everyone. I used to be a regular member of this forum and I lost 57 lbs. a few (ok, more than a few) years ago. Big depression hit and serious life changes and I slipped back into my old ways, regaining 35 lbs. It's been particularly difficult to get started this time around because my partner is a total pasta addict! I'm hoping she will see the light when she sees my results, but really, I am doing this for me and no one else.
    I'm on day two and I went shopping yesterday and feel good about today. The thing I am most concerned about is the severe leg cramping that I ALWAYS seem to get whenever I do Atkins. More than anything else, this is what drove me away from the plan. I don't know how much of what minerals I need to prevent this, but I've tried electolyte mixes, calcium, kelp, and lite salt. Any other advice on that front is welcome.
    I'm glad to be back!
