Born again Atkinite!!

[JessbabyOSU]

Hey folks -

Well this is my official first time giving Atkins a "real" go. I attempted Atkins before but never could make it through the first week. This time I'm determined to actually shed the weight. I just completed my second degree and all those hours of sitting and studying, sitting in class, and study food, oh and stress, have amounted in a well (to be frank) - a big butt! yikes. I started my last degree at 125 - now 137.2. I'm determined to make it down to 115! Whoo! I have my sister and mother doing Atkins at the same time (my support group) - thank goodness for them.

I'm looking for people to help provide motivation and tips. Looking forward to chatting with many of you.

Good Luck to All -

Jessica

Hi jessbaby and welcome to and Atkins!

Take some time to check out the board. There are a lot of stickies and FAQs in the various Forums.

Do you have the Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) book? If not, pick up a copy, it's great to have with you if you need a little encouragement or reminder!

That's great that your mom and sister are Atkineers too, it's so much easier when you have support at home.

Hope to see you around the board!

If you have a hard time finding the 2002 edition of DANDR, you can find a link in my siggie. You can order one from amazon.com.

welcome to ADBB!!

Re: Born again Atkinite!!

Yep - I have both the Diet Revolution book as well as the Atkins hardback book with meal plans. Fully prepared this time - just trying to make it through the first few days (damn sugar cravings). I'm super motivated - b/c I'm got this HUGE family vacation to Mexico in June and well I have no excuses anymore. I need to get my butt in gear (pun intended)!

Tips? Advise? - That's my favorite...

Hi Jess,

Oooo, the Mexico vacation sounds great and what a great goal to work toward!

Tips: Follow the rules of Induction and Ongoing Weight Loss phases, drink lot's of water, exercise and you'll be a success!

What's this S16 and BCtcCW stuff all about? Just curious and how do I become a part of it?

BCtcCW Crew = "Butt Cheeks that can Crack Walnuts" Basically all you need to do is committ to X amount of minutes of exercise for the month and keep track of it in your signature. You'll see quite a few of us that are on a mission!! It's a really great way to push yourself and see how much you do!

That reminds me....we need to do a BCtcCW catch up thread!

Si6 = Slim In Six. You'll find us in the Exercise forum in a thread titled The Vidiot's House of Pain. We're about to start up a new Vidiot's challenge on Monday, the 9th. We'll be using a rotation of the following BeachBody programs: Slim In Six, Slim Series, and Turbo Jam. You're more than welcome to join us and you'll find the sign up thread in the Exercise forum too
