    Hi I'm new at this stuff!

    Well I have now been on induction for 1 day I am new to dieting and forums I don't know alot of lingo yet but I'll catch on. I decided to join to have some sort of support system as everybody in my life is skiny and while they try to understand they really don't know what to say to me. I weigh 210 lbs my goal is 130 I will post pictures soon. I just wanted to introduce myself and give some background.

    here is a picture i took of myself in the mirror i will try to get a body shot asap

      Welcome to ADBB. Just a few pointers that have helped me out so far.

      Buy the book DANDR (Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution) and read it.

      Drink plenty of water.

      Keep pics of yourself around and visible at all times (either old pics when you were thinner, or pics at your heaviest to remind you why you are changing your way of living).

      Keep a food journal (whether it be on here, or handwritten).

      Keep up on ADBB, this is, by far, the best support system!!!

      I wish you the best of luck, see you around!

        Welcome to the board and this woe (way of eating).

        I wish you great success and look forward to seeing your around! Don't be afraid to ask questions either, even the lingo can get lost in translation sometimes

            That is a good idea here is what I ate and drank yesterday

            breakfast 1 egg omlet wih chredded chicken brest and 1 oz of cheddar cheese


            lunch salad with 1 cup of mixed lettuce chopped mushrooms 4 olives 2 cut up cherry tomatoes i piece of bacon crumbled 1 boiled egg olive oil and vinegar for dressing

            snack had 4 celery sticks with tuna (yuck but hey they made my hunger go away)

            dinner a 6 oz steak w/ mushrooms 1 cup of raw baby spinach with 1 tbsp of ranch dressing

            drinks

            2 cups of decaf tea with splenda
            4 16.9 oz bottles of water
            2 crystal light rasberry flavored

            it wasn't as hard as I imagined it would be the worst part was no diet mt dew but I want a clean induction so no caffine I haven't had any of the headaches yet that people have mentioned. mabey I will get lucky. if anybody has any suggestions or comments about my menu so far I would be happy to hear it. thanks!

                Hi Mystic, welcome to the board! Your menu sounds really fine so far. If you can stay away from the Crystal Light for a while, that would be the only thing I suggest.

                You will get the hang of the board/lingo real quickly if you come around often!

                Enjoy your stay at ADBB!
