    Glad to be here!

    Hello to everyone!

    My name is Amy and I started "Induction" on November 4, 2006. My weight when starting Induction was 206 lbs. My current weight is 198 lbs and my goal weight being 145-150 lbs. I have tried many many diets, even crash diets. None have worked But this time...it feels different, I feel different. For once, I feel in my heart that I am going to do this.

    Anyways, I am a 25 yr. old mother of 3 beautiful children and a wonderful husband who loves me no matter how much of me there is to love. My husband is my only support and he has never been over weight which makes it, for me, kinda hard. He tries to understand everything but he just can't. Thats why I am here...I seen all you wonderful people and thought that I could make some friends and have that support I desperately need.

    Thank You All for taking time to read my post Good luck and God Bless!

    Hi Amy! Welcome to the board. Sounds like induction is working for you. Have you been reading the 2002 edition of DANDR, or just around this board? Please let us know if you need any guidance at all, we are all here for you!

        Thanks much!

        I have just been around the boards. I bought "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" and "The ATKINS Essentials" books and started my journey for weight loss. From there I started researching some support and forums and found you wonderful and inspiring people! So here I am! I'm still learning my way on the forums and have so much reading to do.

        I am so glad to have so many people to walk along with me on my journey!

            I love my husband dearly too and he has always been able to eat anything he wants while I have constantly had to watch everything I even look at!!! Well, we have been married 36 years and about the last five, my wonderful darling has had a metabolism slow down. Now this is a man who considers french fries a vegetable and therefore insists that he is eating his vegetables. Well it is really hard to get him to eat decent. The pounds are starting to creep up on him. For the first time in his life he is having to consider "watching" what he eats. It cracks me up...he had me put him on a fruit only for breakfast diet. He did great the first two weeks and then I started noticing that he would sneak the fruit back into the frig and opt for his usual breakfast burrito instead. What's a wife to do???..anyway, it is ironic that now he has joined the millions of us who have to be conscious about their weight...it's just such a crack-up for me. I'm hoping to reach my goal of 30 lbs lost and hope he'll follow suit! I want him around with me for a long time!

                Welcome. Congratulations on making the decision to get healthy and lose weight with us. This is a great support system with a lot of caring and understanding people who want to share your journey.

                My husband has also never known a 'fat day' in his life, altho he has no problem with my way of eating --

                Make sure you take your measurements as well as recording your weight so you will be able to see the inches as they melt away. It is a great motivator.

                Dedication gives wings to our dreams and keeps them in flight! In One Word...COMMITTMENT.

                  I started my journal on another thread. It feels so good to talk bout things and people listen and tell you their side/story. I've lost 4 lbs already! I am so very excited. Looking at all these before and after pictures just blows my mind! Some of you I would think was 2 different people if it weren't for your smiles Kent's video made me cry! I am proud of all of you!

                          Hi Amiee.. It is so funny reading your post it is my story to the T. I am a 30 year old mother of four I just found Atkins yesterday. I have been married to the same man since I was 17 years old. He has never been over weight so it is hard for him to relate. He says he loves me regaurdless but it is what I think that matters right now. I am here for you and I hope we can go through this together.
