  • Hi

    Hi Everyone, My name is Sandy and I am 37 years old. I started Atkins again last Monday. I am having a great week. For some reason this time I feel determined to stick with it. This week I had a change in dinner plans that almost threw me off...But asked the waitress could I substitute...Then Yesterday I went to an amusement park which usually does me in also. NOPE I stuck to plan too.

    Tomorrow is Easter and I have that all worked out too.. I am taking an extra Broccoli Salad just for me

    I have been lurking here all weekend and I LOVE all the inspirational stories and pictures that are on here.

    I hope to be active in this board once I figure out how to do everything

          Hi Sandy! I am new as well - start week 3 on Monday erm actually it might be week 4 - decided to stay on induction - It is pretty easy to stick to - hoping to lose a bit more quickly and then take it slowly after that - well they reckon the slower it comes off the more likely to stay off!

          Gat the Atkins carb counter - great little book!

            Hi Sandy!

            Nice to have you here. You sound really motivated so this will definately work for you.

            I found this thread very helpful. Actually I found it yesterday, being on board for already 12 days... As I am not sure if links will work in a thread, I copy it like this so you just have to look out for the titles and you will find your way.

              Hi, Sandy. It looks like we started within a week of each other. Your results so far are great. My first week back on was kind of hard, but the second one got a lot easier. Like UK Girl, I am going to stay on induction for a little while.

              Keep up the great work!

                Hi Ann... Yep that first week can be torture.. Especially when this past week different things happened.. But I talked myself out of every single one of them
