Hi
Just want to introduce myself. I have been lurking around these boards for about a week and decided to sign up. These boards have been a great source of information and inspiration for me during the last week.
I have not yet added my official stats, but here they are for starters:
42 y.o. mother of 2
5'8' tall
weight 250
goal weight 150
I have decided to take this situation under control and stay totally committed to the atkins WOE. I don't know how I got so big, stress eating, combined with reduced exercise and having to have my father come live with us- and he does not cook healthy. Lately I've been having thoughts of my weight causing health issues such that I fear dying. I want to be around for my children for a long time!! My doctor lost alot of weight on Atkins and suggested I give it a try.
So here I am, 1 week into induction. I haven't weighed myself, I am so afraid of dissapointment if the numbers don't match how good I feel. I just know at my last physicial I weighed 250 (the most in my life) and I decided to stop complaining and do something. I will get a scale today- and may hesitantly get on it in a few days.
Moving onto week 2 of induction- feeling good, but barely turning those ketostix. With the amount of weight I have to lose, I may stay on induction for greater than 2 weeks.
Anyhow, I'm happy to have found these boards- a great support environment for me. I love the advice from all those who have succeeded.
Wish me luck!

My scale didnt move to quick and i got a lot of advise saying not to use that as a measure, only how u feel, and how your clothes fit and inches lost, there right , the scale hasnt moved in 4 days but i feel awesome! i can even see in the mirror im somewhat smaller and the energy! 
Its almost scary, i feel like a new person already!!. Glad you desided to join us!!!
