Nice pics! Thanks for posting.
I see you've already lost your first pound, so you're off and away on your Atkins journey! I'm willing to bet it won't take you long if you stick to plan and exercise some!
Happy losing. Looking forward to the next instalment of pics.

I fell off the wagon for awhile too.

But I'm back on!

I am going to check in here everyday to keep myself in check.

Congrats on your one pound.

hey van -- congratulations on finding the Atkins site and commiting to improving your health. Make sure you know the rules of induction and what foods are on the acceptable food list -- if it's not on the list don't put it in your mouth! Drink at least 64 ounces of pure water (not soda, coffee, tea, kool-aid) - this is nuthin but water! Also get out and get some exercise -- walk, jog, swim, play the air guitar whatever you feel like doing but get up and move.

After the first few days you'll feel better than you have in years! Believe me, I love this way of eating (WOE) and can't see myself ever eating anything but the way I do with Atkins. Good luck - I can't wait to see some new pictures of you!

Hey Van

You still look great and are going to be even better when you get to your goal!

I'm also just starting today, that first week or so is a killer as we get used to a new way - but check out all the before/afters and great results...

This is SO doable

Keep up the great work
