  • Brand new and ready to Go

    I just found this board and am thrilled. It is wonderful to find such a place that provides inspiration and information as I start this new lifestyle.

    I am currently 252 pounds and need to get to 160 at some point, though I know it will take awhile. I just started Atkins yesterday and have my mind set to follow through.

    Welcome to the board Ian. I am glad you have found us, if you work it properley you will have no trouble in getting to 160. Bes thing you can do in the first instance is pick up a copy of the book. Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution - (DANDR) and read it through.

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

      Thanks so much for your encouragement. I have the book that you suggested and am in the process of reading it cover to cover. I want to do this right!

                    Thank you all for your words, it really helps when you are able to communicate with those that have the same goals as yourself. I have made it through today, making it two days now, I know, just a start, but it feels good anyway. You all seem like good people and I feel when reading your posts that I am in excellent company>

                      Welcome! This is the best place to get the encouragment to make it happen. After you read the book, make a plan to succeed. Be sure to take your measurements -- its so motivating to see your body shrinking. I look forward to helping you celebrate your success.

                        I have done my measurements, read the book, got my vitamins, and managed to drink all my water today. It is day 3 and I am proud of myself. Again, I love this board!!!
