    Newbie!

    Hello everybody, I'm a newbie this is my first day starting the Atkins Diet, I've attempted before but never stuck with it long enough to lose anything. (I have a hard time with diets) but this time my boyfriends helping me stick to it and I have faith it will work this time! I weigh 160 now and I'm 5'9" I want to lose 10-15lbs by Halloween which by the results I've been reading about that shouldnt be too hard of a goal. Over all my goal is to lose 30 lbs by my 21st birthday at the end of January, which again doesnt seem to be a very hard goal from what other people have lost. Wish me luck!!

    Re: Newbie!

    Hello! Welcome to the boards Way to go on being ready to change the way you eat... remember, this isn't a "fad diet", but really it is a new way of eating. I'm happy you've joined us! Use these boards... the people on here are full of a wealth of knowledge, experience, and information.

    My advice, if you haven't already, get a copy of Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution... it will become your guide! Also, drink LOTS of water. Keep at it... it really does work. I'm on my 8th day of induction, and down about 8 lbs.

    Look forward to watching you lose!!!!





    Looking forward to meeting the "new" me ....
    (I'm going to get there by following this new way of eating.... Making changes for the better!)

      Hi Chelsey! Welcome. You've been given great advice, read the book, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, edition 2002....drink lots of water, exercise, take measurements and enjoy watching the inches melt as you develop new heathy habits and life-style. Don't compare yourself with anybody else's success...we are all unique and lose weight differently. Best wishes...
