    Here I Go!

    Well, I am starting Atkins today, and I'm so excited about my journey to my goal weight! I did this diet before, and I lost 45 pounds in 3 months! My big problem is that I starting eating a LOT of junk food and binge eating, and (as I would have with ANY diet), I gained my weight back. I am currently 235, and my goal weight is 150. So... 85 pounds till I reach my goal, but I am motivated, and I know I'll get there!

    You have come to the right place. Have you read the book? Make sure you drink lots of water and ask questions. You will do fine. Good luck and God Bless.

      Awh, thanks! Yeah, I have the book... I am trying to drink a lot of water. It's hard though sometimes to make yourself.

            The water was hard for me also. I was so used to drinking soda's and NO water. I am now up to 120 Oz a day. It's tuff but you have to keep your eye on the prize and it will get easier. Good Luck!

                  Happy New Year, Jkmdrummer! Happy to have you aboard! Have you gotten rid of what you WON'T need (temptations, for instance)? Got what you WILL need (DANDR 2002 & induction-legal foods)?

                  Have you taken your starting weight and measurements, perhaps a photo, so you can really measure progress you make?
                  Have you been reading up on the "sticky" posts in the forum lists?

                  Got any questions? We're happy to help! Welcome to ADBB!

                    Well, yeah, I have gotten rid of the "bad" foods, BUT I haven't taken my "before" pictures yet. I need to do that soon because I know with Atkins, the weight falls off pretty fast! Anyways, Happy New Year to you too!!! Look forward to making some new friends!
