    Hi! I'm totally new to atkins

    My name is Jessica. I'm a 28 year old mom of three and usmc wife. I just started induction today. I'm really excited to try atkins. I weigh 170lbs and want to get down to 140lbs. Anyways, I'm off to explore more on the forum. Can't wait to get to know you all!

          Absolutely! Induction was a little tough, but once you determine this is a lifestyle and not a quick fix, it becomes easy and almost second nature. I've been doing it for 3 years!

                            Hiya Jessica!

                            Thanks for info!

                            Yes I use paint shop pro...I love it!
                            Sadly I have been neglecting it recently....just don't seem to have the time to play with it lol!! The tag I posted earlier was a snag...I'm a terrible snagger!! Some gorgeous tags about that I love to take inspiration from.

                            Anyway......Hope your Atkins is going well?!

                            Take care,

                              I have paint shop pro 8. I used to mess around on it quite a bit but haven't done so in a while. Anyways, I'm on day three of atkins. I'm feeling fine...having a little bit of a caffine withdrawal but that's no biggie. I think I'll weigh myself after I've been on it for a week. *crosses my fingers for a few pounds lost*
