Hello everyone, I'm new!
Hi my name is Mark and this is my first post to this bulletin board.
I started my Atkins diet on Feb 22, 2007, and I weighed 267 lbs. My current weight (as of June 14, 2007) is 234 lbs. I feel great on this diet. And for the record, I did read the book in its entirety... my proof is I know the "corrective unbalanced diet" inside and out.
My History
I have an insatiable appetite. Before this diet, I would eat SO much food that I'm sure I would be unable to count it all. I was also wanting ice cream at least daily.
I've also been on the taller side (6'1") and the bigger side (+20-30 lbs vs. peers) most of my life.
Since starting Atkins, I've noticed that my appetite is way down (even though I took the book's advice to eat liberally at the start). I have zero cravings for bread, pasta, white flour. I am still very tempted by ice cream, so anyone with a good Atkins alternative for me would be immediately welcomed!
Where I want to go
I'm new to the BMI calculation, so if anyone has advice/thoughts on it, let me know. My first goal weight is 226 lbs which according to the BMI index moves me from "obese" to "overweight". My second goal weight is 189 lbs (which I cannot even fathom!) to move me from "overweight" to "healthy weight".
I am really looking forward to this board...meeting people...sharing/learning...having fun.
Until next time!

I started Atkins yesterday, Wednesday, June 13, and I am very determined. I am packing my lunches, and snacks for work, so that I don't get caught up in the pizza, sandwich, thing that we constantly have around here. My short term goal is to reach 197 pounds by the end of induction. My next short term goal is to reach 177 pounds by my birthday in September, and long term goal is to shoot for 150 pounds. If it takes me longer, I don't mind, but if it happens sooner, I would be most grateful. I will keep everyone posted. Next weigh in Thursday, June 21.
Oh yes. I forgot. It is helping me to stay motivated by posting to this bulletin. I also have a small journal where I am writing down every morsel of food, or drink that I put in my mouth. If you don't mind I would like to post my daily meals for everyone's review. If this is too much, please let me know. Okay here is what I had yesterday:
. Please help me with any tips you might have. I am open to any type of discussion. Thank you all.
