    My first day

    I don't know if I'm supposed to introduce myself here or somewhere else so feel free to move this if you need to lol.

    My name is Stacey and today is my first day here at ADBB and also my first day of induction. I'm sitting here drinking water instead of my morning coffee (I'm so proud :joy lol)

    I have lost 34 pounds on another diet but I was still feeling really sluggish and drained, so I did some research into the Atkins diet and here I am.

    I hope to meet some new friends to make this transition a little easier :hug

              Welcome!

              Hi Stacey - I'm glad you have found Atkins. You'll find many benefits from this lifestyle, good energy, and abundant, delicious wholesome food.

              You are smart to bypass the coffee. Coffee gives a false lift that soon drops you down lower than an armadillo in a underground bunker.
              Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary. Eckhart Tolle
