    My first post

    Hi, I'm Kim. My fiance and I just got through our first week on induction. I lost 6 pounds! He lost over 4, too. I did Atkins about a year ago, but found it difficult not living with someone else with this WOE. I did lose 9 pounds last year, but quickly gained it back when I went off. This bulletin board has been a great motivater for me. I log on just for inspiration. Reading everyone else's stories about the reality of trying, and trying again....and succeeding is what gives me the idea that I can, too! I have checked out other forums for weight loss, but this is the best I've seen. I have the Diet Revolution book and the Atkins for life book. These also help, as I like knowing the details of why this WOE works. Not to get too long, but some years ago I went vegetarian for one year. I ended up with very bad indigestion, a burning stomach and chest that would not go away. It just kept getting worse, even though I ate lots of "alkaline" foods. Seemed like it just produced more acid. The problem didn't go away until I began eating meat again. Well, enough for a first post. Glad to join you.

      Thanks for the reply! I want to get into some exercise/fitness challenges. What is the best way to find out what is going on right now, etc? I have not been able to motivate.

        Go to the challenge forum and post to any challenges you want to join. (I totally recommend the I AM WORTH IT CHALLENGE)

        Also, there is a woman's forum. Notate that you are female in your siggy and pm the Adminstrator that you want to join that forum. It covers issues that deal directly with being 'female'. Best wishes! I know you'll find this board an instrumental asset to your success!

            Hey Kimsworld!
            Welcome to the party! It IS realy encouraging being on this forum... I am much more hopeful and joyful since i started... I've only been doing it (this time) for a month... and am definately feeling more energetic than I have for a long while... not just surviving any longer... This is a great WOE...
            Join some of the exersize challenges... since i joined them, all I can think about is making sure I do my sit ups and get my miles in.... Really want to stay on track!
            the food part is getting automatic. No more cravings! Yeah! It really happens!
            In the beginning I was dreaming I was swimming in chocolate ice cream! lol!
            but no more.
            The recipes have been a life saver too!
            See you round the board and welcome!
