Just starting

Hello,
I'm Kim and just starting my new low-carb way of living. I am very excited and very dedicated. I would love to share info. and get support from others, since I am the only one I know doing Atkins. I am so happy to find this board. I have about 50 lbs. to lose. I would love to chat frequently with someone who is experienced with Atkins and was also wondering if there is a Boot Camp starting soon? That sounds like what I need to do! Thanks.

Hi Kim,
I am 5 days into Induction but have the book and can look up any questions you might have as you're getting started. I'm commited, I'm pumped and I'm excited! Have lost several pounds already!

Welcome and congratulations on deciding to start this new way of living! We're here if you need anything, just ask! There will be an announcement when they are accepting new recruit sign ups for bootcamp, so keep your eyes open!

Hi. I started Atkins on 2/1. I've lost 7 pounds and wants to lose another 20. The problem is... I haven't seen any more weight loss this entire week. I've kept it under 20 carbs the last 3 weeks. Drinks more than 64 oz. of water. Any help? Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let all of our new members who have signed up for the Buddy List/Mentoring program that I haven't forgotten you. I seem to have a computer with a mind of it's own these days and haven't been able to post much due to this. As soon as I get this thing fixed, you will all be notified of your group assignment.

Thanks for your understanding!

to lisaaw

I saw that you replied, and I'm sorry took me so long to get back. I forgot where I posted and took me awhile to find it. I am now almost a month in and have lost just about 10 lbs. I am totally psyched also and hope to share this new woe with others and to get support. Hope to talk to ya soon.

[lisaaw]

10 lbs. is great, Kim! I am on my 10th day of Induction and have lost 6 lbs. and an overall total of 4.75".

I'm still getting lost on here too but clicking the option on the lower right side of this page, "Watch This Forum", has helped me a bunch. Whenever a new message is posted, an email is automatically sent to me with a link that will take me directly to that forum.

Good suggestion Lisa!
I used that function often when I started coming here and clicked that option on threads I read or started that I wanted to keep an eye on.
and if you decide you dont want to watch a marked thread after a while you can click to 'unwatch' it too.

i want to be a part of this

hi i am new to this program i am starting tomorrow induction. i would like regular emails for support...feel free to email me....cookiemonsterlover04@yahoo.com- i need all the help i can get!

[ravenfan]

Lisa, that is great that you have lost almost 5 inches. I myself haven't done my measurements. I should, because I think that is a better way to go then the scale, which can fluctuate. I see that we have the same goal weight. I haven't seen 125 in a long, long time. After I got married and had my first child, it's been all downhill. Thanks for the tip about keeping track of my posts. Talk to ya later.

Hello all! :wave

I finally got the problem with my computer repaired and am able to jump back in here and get everyone situated. I will be working on the additions to the Buddy List later on in the day and notifications will also be sent out at that time also.

Thanks for your patience and cooperation!
