        I just noticed you were in Ohio too..what part? I'm in Heath, about 45 minutes east of Columbus.

        I'm doing really good today...I find that eating a lot of protein keeps me less hungry for a lot longer period...I wish you lots of luck tomorrow when you start!

            Hello,

            It has been a week for me. I am restarting after a long break. I lost 8 lbs. in the first week. amazing! You can do it!
            The best thing is I feel great, not tired and not hungry. The first few days are difficult but about day 3 and 4 I started to feel better. Hang in there, it is worth it.

                Heya not2sweet - just make sure your ratios don't get too carried away with the protein. Eating more fat should also make you feel fuller for longer.

                Lookit all you guys making this commitment.. It's awesome.

                      Welcome Erica, I'm new here too but not to Atkins. I'm down 60 lbs and struggling with my last 15 and I'm getting some pretty good support here. I will say that after a lifetime of struggling with my weight, this by far is the most successful long term commitment I've ever succeeded at. I can't ever imagine going back to old ways and I am obsessed! This is a great move, and I hope you love it as much as I do!
                      Lots of Luck!

                          Welcome Erica.. I am on my second week.. I lost 7lbs last week. But the best thing is.. I am already feeling better.. My blood sugar isn't going up and down where I have to eat something to keep from fainting.. If this is happening now..I can't imagine what its going to be like when more weight comes off..
