Haniya ~ Welcome to the ADBB. Happy you decided to join us. To get the most out of this WOE, make sure you drink lots of water, take your supplements and exercise. I'd suggest you read the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, edition 2002 ~ so you can understand exactly how this WOE works.

Best wishes to you, I look forward to hearing about your success.

Hey Haniya

Welcome to the board, the water thing is an effort at first, but trust me it will really help and will come naturally after a while, it's ALL I've drunk for the last two weeks

Pardon my interruption into your welcome thread but how have you determined that 100 lbs on a 5'7" frame is a desireable goal weight? And, 25 lbs in 8 weeks is a reasonable expectation? I ask because Dr. Atkins talks about goals and expectations in his book.

hey perry,

my goal weight is 100 lbs cuz for 10 yrs now i have been at 100 lbs.. i started gaining weight since march this yr cuz i moved to america and have been having a lot of fast food! and as far as the time frame is concerned, 8 wks i know is too optimistic but i am keeping my fingers and toes crossed....

i wanna do my best as far as i can and see wat results i get!
