Hello there, everyone

[Cadie]

I have been meaning to come here for a very long time. I am currently 100 pounds over my desired weight, and I have sugar cravings all of the time.
I am very depressed because I hurt all over, especially my feet and legs.
Many years ago, I did Atkins and was very successful. Somehow through the years, it just went to the wayside.
I am very scared of trying this diet again, but I know that within a couple of days, I will start to feel better, and hopefully this depression will lift.
I look forward to all of the support I know I will recieve here, I have much support to give as well.

Re: Hello there, everyone

welcome back!!!

you said it exactly right - in a couple of days you will feel like you have started to accomplish something, (and also that you'd started sooner!!!) you'll have more energy, less guilt and a whole bunch of new friends on this website.

Try and get some honest measurements and weigh yourself before you start, and have a look at the induction posts.

Good luck!

Re: Hello there, everyone

Welcome. We are all very scared and doubtful when we finally made the committment to get serious and healthy. I was petrified. I didn't know if it would work - but I was so impressed by everyone here who said it did.

Well, now I can tell you from experience that ATKINS works. Do it like it is supposed to be done (the way Dr. Atkins' says to do in his book = Dr. Atkins New diet Revolution - edition 2002). My advice is to make a plan to stay with the program. Do it, take the supplements, water and exercise. And please keep us posted on your progress!! Best wishes!!!
