Hi, my name is Daphne and I've been reading the posts for the past three weeks, I'm on my second day of a clean induction and so far so good I've made it to day two without cheating I cannot believe it, I was peterified of doing the Atkins diet for fear of giving up sugar, bread & rice I thought I couldnt live without them!

From what I can see the support here is excelent, I will be looking forward to making new friends..

Hi Daphne! This is the best place to get support as you change your life-style to get healthy and fit. Everyone here understands the struggles and temptations and is more than willing to give each other encouragement. My motto is to stop talking about it and make it happen.

Congratulations on making it through day 2! You can do this. Make plans now on how you will deal with stress and down days as well as vacations, dinner invitations and days when you might be tempted.

The ADBB is full of inspirational posts from others who are changing their lives and living healthier life-styles. There are numerous recipes, ideas, challenges and motivational forums that will help you through life's issues.

Best wishes and keep us posted on your progress!!

Re: I'am new

Welcome Daphne, as the others have already said, the first week is going to be the toughest. Once you get past that, then the cravings simply disappear for the most part. The longer you go without sugar/flour, etc, the less you want it...and if you do cheat and eat it...you'll pay dearly for it in the bathroom LOL

Atkins has changed my life. Not only have I made physical changes in my body, but I've had incredible changes in my spirit and attitude...and I mean big. You will too! Congrats on your success so far, keep it up as it only gets better and easier! Come here for support, the members here are really supportive.

Re: I'am new

Thank you validroughe & Jace for your replys.

I woke up feeling not to good today, been drinking loads of water through a straw, I find it easier that way.

I also have absolutely no appetite today, I barely managed to finish my lunch and for some strange reason everything I eat or drink today is tasting sweet, do you know why?

Being my first time on atkins I have loads of questions to ask do I ask them here?

Its like my first day of a new job..lol can't wait to get familiar with the forum..

thanks
