    New to Bulletin Board...

    Hi!.....I am 33 years old, and I am on day 11 of induction....So, far I have lost 14 pounds.....which suprises me.......My goal is to lose 150 pounds.....I am 5'8, and at my highest weight I was 321, but I started this at 318....I know Atkins is working, but when i look at the big picture, I think I cant imagine being able to stay with it and lose all the weight that I want to......Or is it even possible??....Well, Just wanted to say hi......and to see if anyone has any advice for me......

        Hi there,

        Welcome to ADBB - this is such a great place for support, advice and encouragement

        Well done on the weight lost so far. Yes, it is possible! Check out the century club to http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...splay.php?f=12 read about people with similar goals or who have already reached goal.

        As for advice I think these 40 tips for newbies are totally great: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ead.php?t=6790 I wish I'd read them at the start

        Best of luck with this WOL
