HI! New girl here from Toronto!!

[Fragola333]

Hello!! My name is Carmen and I'm from Toronto, Canada. This isn't my first time being on Atkins, see when I was 16 i decided to give this a try and lost 70 pounds in 6 months...SOLELY ON INDUCTION!! I was thrilled, but my body wasn't and went into shock,as well as i developed Jaundice. I'm now 23 years old and am at my heighest weight EVER - 195lbs! I'm disgusted with myself and what I have become and am now VOWING to become healthier - both mentally and physically. I hope to be welcomed into this wonderful group as only here I believe I will find the support and encouragment that i desperatly need.
I was hoping to learn the proper ways of Induction and possibly some tips on whats good to eat and when!
I will post pics as soon as i can get some *sigh* that i'm not to embaressed about.
Thanks bunches!! xxoo

Starting day - September 21, 2006
Starting weight - 195 lbs
Goal weight - 130 lbs

Hi Carmen! Welcome to the ADBB!
Have you read the DANDR 2002 copy? If not, pick it up and read it.
You are going to do wonderful! And you've come to the right place for support - remember though that Atkins isn't a "diet" its a "way of life" and so you'll need to move up the rungs too.
Welcome!

Welcome Carmen! You will definately find support here. Check out the recipe forum to get some good ideas for food. Also join some of the challenges they help to keep you on the right track. There are exercise challenges and I find the no cheat challenge very helpful.
