    New to atkins!

    Hello there! I just wanted to introduce myself, because I have the feeling I will be posting on here alot. My name is Melissa, and me and my husband started atkins on Monday. So far, so good. Everything seems to be going fine, except for the minor headaches, probaly from the caffeine withdrawl. I am hoping to lose about 40-50 pounds. I weighed about 125, then gained 55 during my pregnancy, and I guess since my daughter just turned 2, I better get my butt in gear, as the "I just had a baby" excuse isn't working anymore Well, anyways, I can't wait to get further into this diet and see how much weight I can lose - I AM READY!!


    F/21/5'2"
    Start day: June 4th
    1st mini goal: make it through induction cheat-free!
    2nd mini goal: lose 15 pounds by 1 year wedding anniversary (July 22nd)
    3rd mini goal: lose 30 pounds by christmas
    Goal: lose 50 pounds by my birthday!!

                      You go girl!!! LOL! We are so gonna do this thang! I am so proud of you baby, and thanks again for helping me along my way as well. I love how I don't really miss anything unless I'm actually staring at it.



                      At 6'1" I think that 220 lbs should look and feel pretty good. Atkins is kind of fun for me, I mean I love the food!
