  • My intro

    My name is Christy. I live on the Mississippi Coast. A few years ago I did Atkins and did very well. I don't know why I ever stopped! Nov 5th I started eating low carb but not following any particular plan. I have lost 8 lbs!! Tomorrow I'm starting the induction phase of Atkins. I read the book several years ago.

    I look forward to reading the post here and giving and getting encouragement!

    Welcome Christy. You will find inspiration and motivation here. Good luck on starting the plan tomorrow. I suggest starting a journal also to track your daily progress. My journal and posting here everyday keeps me accountable and on track. I amd a second timer also. I wish you much success on your weightloss journey.

      Thanks for the welcome. I'm at work right now and we have some "down time". I'm learning my way around the forum. A journal is a great idea!

                Hi Christy, welcome to the board. Why did you stop? Not to worry, it happens and more importantly you are back on track. You might want to refresh yourself with the book, you know how important it is to follow this plan properly.

                Congrats on the 8 pounds so far, that's terrific.
