    New Here!

    Hey everyone, I'm Megan and this will be my first attempt at the Atkins Nutritional Approach. I have never been this heavy before and it is really discouraging me. There have already been 3 or so events that I have not attended this summer because I feel like my weight is holding me back, I won't feel comfortable going at the weight I am at.

    I have rented the 2002 version of the book from the library and read it, and I'm ready to start.. I'm having a hard time coming up with a menu however, but I've been browsing through the forums so I'm sure I'll stop by the 'menu help' and 'induction' sections. Can't wait to get started eating the Atkins way!
