    New to Atkins----DETERMINED!

    HI All,
    This is the first time I have tried Atkins. I've been on thie induction since September 17th and found this forum last nite! I was really excited to be able to talk to others going through the same thing as me.
    I lost 100 lbs about 9 years ago on another diet plan and I have gained every single pound back. I looked at myself and said, "Thats it!! I'm not gonna feel this way anymore! I can do this!". I quit smoking cold turkey June of 2007 and felt much better, now I need to work on this baggage. So here I am, 12 days into induction and feeling great! I cant believe the energy I have! I walk every day.
    I have read lot of your stories and am very happy for all of you! What inspirations!
    I am determined to look great and feel great! Let's do this together!
    I have not weighed myself since I started but am very anxious to weigh in this wednesday, 10/1.
    Wish me luck and good luck to all!!

      Well done, badwabbit It looks as if you lost 16 pounds in your 14 days induction which is tremendous!!

      Are you starting up the OWL carbohydrate ladder now or hanging around on induction for a while?
      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!
