Hi ya'll.

[150tolose]

I'm new here, but not to Atkins. Unfortunately, I have never stayed
with Atkins long enough for it to make a difference, nor have I done it correctly, but I want to now. Unlike some people here, my doctors actually told me to do this WOE. Because I have PCOS, and hyperinsulinism, I was advised this was the best type of eating plan for me..but I am so addicted to cokes, especially caffeine that I never seem to be able to overcome those first few days so I know that I am going to need some help. OKay...ALOT of help!
I have read so many of your posts, they are so inspiring and I hope that a year from now, I can be like so many of you and be an inspiration to someone else.
My motivation? Besides my health & thats a big one, I want to have a baby, and I struck a deal with my husband, if I can lose the weight I need to to be healthy, we will start trying to conceive. Why then? Because I don't want to risk my baby's health with my health problems. So say a little pray for me, and all advice welcome. Thank you for this board. I plan to be on it every day! Anne

Hey 150tolose! Welcome to the board and welcome back to this way of life! Please do check in often, as Jane said, it is a great help to be around the board alot. That's how you will make friends and stay accountable to yourself! Besides, we love to watch people lose weight around here!

Do you have "the book"? I hope you're doing your reading homework!

Welcome! Glad you've made the committment to stick to it. The people here will be a great help, unlike temporary diets that we've all done alone, the ADBB is a team of people working together to make it happen. Come here often, become active in the challenges, forums and discussions. It will help you stay motivated and inspire you to reach your goal. We are all doing this together. You can make it happen!!

Re: Hi ya'll.

Hello 150tolose. First off, let me say that you are already in my prayers. I hope you pray for me too. After I finish this post, I am going to introduce myself on here. This is my first post. Maybe we can help and be an encouragement to each other. I plan on logging in each and every day too, though I know it may be difficult for me on some days. Congratulations on your new marriage and on the baby to be that you are already caring for. He or she is already lucky to have you for a mom. Good Luck and I will talk to you again soon. My name is Pamela.

Re: Hi ya'll.

I like the little quote at the bottom of your signature. It's very true. And you have made the decision which will take you where you want to go. 1 year from now... you're going to be one hot momma (emphasis on the momma part, **nudge nudge**). Oh man, I though I was being clever when I wrote that, but... **cough**

Happy low carbing. Report in everyday, and we'll respond!

Re: Hi ya'll.

Hi everybody! Wow! You guys know how to show love. Its no wonder there are
so many success stories on here. I mean, wow! I cannot wait to be a regular around
here. I am currently gearing up for this...money's been short this week, so on Friday, its Atkins-shopping & I'm already dumping everything else. I figured I would get a start
on trying to each Akins with what I already have and definately drinking the water
since that has been the emphasis everyone has given. Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts...you guys are the best.!!!
So I guess starting day on induction would be Friday night. I don't want to wait until Saturday to begin.
