Hi all!

Jenny
27
5'3 186.6lbs

Sean
27
6'4 over 350 (scale only goes to 350)


My husband and I started the aktins diet on June 23rd. We are both hoping to lose a cosiderable amount of weight. But we are also hoping to create better lifetsyles as well. We have both given up caffine completely and started excerising. I have high hopes for this diet and new found exerising program. I just hope we can stick it out.

Re: Hello

Congratulations Jenny!!! This is the best thing you can do for your bodies..

Now that you are starting don't forget:

1. Take measurements... Remember that women's period makes our weight fluctuate, and you might not reflect loss and then discourage you.. but loose clothes and inches don't lie!! Remember that. And don't get discouraged if Sean loses at a faster pace: Dr Atkins states that men lose faster than women (I was going to say loses faster/more... but you can lose as much as you want with Atkins, unlike the regular diets out there)...

2. Do Your Bloodwork... You'll see amazing results in your cholesterol and triglycerides levels after a while (refer to DANDR for further info)... then, you can prove atkins' haters wrong, and it will be easier for you to stick to the this WOE if you don't have a pushy cousin on your back all the time!!! LOL

3. Come here to get inspiration, read about other's experiences, and of course if you have the simplest question, don't hesitate and ask!!!! It's better to know why something is happening than just guess.. and it's better to ask if something is OK before you put something in your mouth that won't do any good and reflect in your weight loss, and then discourage you..

Welcome aboard!! And congratulations for doin' this together.. I'm sure it will be ultra helpful for to have each other for support, and even your relationship might be strengthened with this amazing experience of getting healthier and therefore, more satisfied.
