    joined today

    Hello my name is Dominique and I am just starting today I am 5'4'' and weighed my self yesterday I am up to 172 lbs when I moved here from Colorado in late june I weighed 94 lbs which ws to thin due to job stress so my goal is 135 lbs. I have decided to work out hard and do atkins I used to think I wasn't eating that many carbs did a lot of v8 and yogurt then I looked at the carb count scary. so hopefully this will work if not I am buying a harpoon

    Welcome Dominique. No need for a harpoon - lol. You wouldn't be able to harpoon yourself anyway - you'd probably just poke your eye out. This woe works and you'll lose that weight in no time. We're here for you if you have any questions or just want to complain about stuff. Happy low carbing!

        Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
        he said, 'Don't count calories.'

            Well let me be the 1st to say that this is only my 4th day and I'm like you, gone get down to th sexy me. I eat about 3 x's a day and I think I'm craving carbs real bad at times. What I do if I feeel a lit hungry is pop a few ginsing and keep Atkins rollin, I started monday at 314 and today I'm at 307.2. Do your excercise but don't burn yourself out. Drastic obligations may effect the routine, but remember, muscle activities burn fat as good as you need fat burnD. Speeds up that metabolism for you. Get the book as well if you haven't. It tells you what and why.
            We are gone do this **** baby, I bake chicken and boil eggs the night before to snack on to keep on top of Atkins. Do what you gotta do to make this work, I'm really impressed with all the success stories here and soon enough me & you will share our stories.
            GOOD LUCK

                    Dominique, this will work my friend, just check out the before and after section and see what some of our ADBB Stars have done.
                    Do you have the book, Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution, if not get yourself a copy and read it and then read Chapter 11 over again.
                    Also measure yourself and write the numbers down where you won't forget where they are like I did, often inches go when pounds don't seem to.

                      Welcome. We all wonder if this will work when we begin this WOE. If you make the changes in your eating and exercising and follow Dr. Atkin's advice, it definitely works.

                      This site is the greatest. It is full of people who are helping each other achieve weight loss and a new healthy lifestyle. There are many forums on health, medical issues, motivation (louser's lounge, before/after photos, success stories) that will encourage you and give you information to make it easier to develop healthier habits.

                      Best wishes. Keep us posted on your progress!!
