Hello,
After trying 3 other diets/new way of life programs in the past year and a half I have finally decided to try Atkins. I know of 4 people who have lost over 80 pounds each and have heard of many more from friends and family. I'm currently waiting for my 2 Atkins books and 2 Atkins cookbooks to arrive (from ebay $11.00 for all 4) but in the meantime I am attempting to start with some knowledge from others.
I'm a 40 year old female, 6'2" and my current weight is 340 but no one believes me, they guess me to be only 70 pounds over weight. My ultimate final goal would be 190 but I would be very pleased to reach 280 in 6 months.
My first 4 days have been a little bumpy trying to figure out what I can and can't have with no book. I was happy to find the Introduction guide on this site to help me along until the books arrive which I hope will be any day.
I have not yet stepped on the scale, so I'm not sure how much I have lost if any. I want to step on the scale for the first time at the end of the 2 weeks.
After reading the guide I figured out I was probably consuming too much cheese and not enough veggies in my day. I wasn't sure which veggies I could eat but now I know. As for adjusting, I think I'm doing very well so far but worry about getting bored with meat since I'm normally a person who eats very little meat and fills up on everything else. This is a whole new experience for me but I'm willing to give it 110% to get results.
Well that's about all I have for now, I'm off to read more info.
