    just started today..soo excited

    Hey Guys,
    You all are such inspirations. Reading about all your struggles and successes makes me believe that I can do it, too!! My weight has always been such a struggle for me, and I just want something to WORK! I was attracted to this diet for various reasons, but most of all because it will allow me to eat some of my favorite foods, and I won't be hungry all the time. Joining gym, as well.
    I am 26 yrs old, 245 pounds. My blood pressure is through the roof, and I am always tired. Its time for a change.
    Thank you again for posting all your wonderful sucess stories. Whenever I feel low, I will read them.
    Thanks for reading,
    Sarah

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

      Hi Sarah!

      Congrats on starting Atkins. My mom had very high blood pressure and went on Atkins last year. To both of our astonishment, her blood pressure started declining to the point that she called her doctor to get off her medication cause it was making it too LOW! So if you are on medication for your blood pressure, I would keep a close eye on it!

      And get ready to feel some energy! The first time I went through induction I would almost be bursting with energy when I ate. It's a great feeling after being bogged down by sugar addiction for so long.

      Also, if you haven't already, I suggest that you read Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution. It's a great run down of how it all works and advice to help you along the way!
      Best Wishes!
