I am new here at atkins diet bulletin board

[NadaBaby30]

Hello Everyone I am new to the Atkins diet. I hope it work for me. I deal with PCOS and with the PCOS I lose weight slower than someone who does not have PCOS. I currently weight 348 pounds and I want to be 150 pounds by January 2010 or sooner. My former doctor said I should get down to 180 lbs to 200 lbs because of my heavy frame. I do not know if that is correct so I will stick to my personal goal of 150 pounds. I need a little help with starting the diet and navigating this website. I hope to meet some new friends!

Hey Nadababy, welcome to the board. I'd highly recommend you pick up the book Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002 edition). So important to read it as it details everything you need to know. Not just how to do the diet, but why it works. Also look around the various forums here (especially the FAQ section)and read the stickies great info there too. Feel free to ask any questions, we are all here to support one another in our weight loss journeys.

I'd also like to suggest that you take your body measurments now along with front and side view photo. So nice to have those later on.

By the way, I love San Francisco and proposed to my wife at Coit Tower. If you let my wife and I come stay at your place for a week I'll give you personal one-on-one Atkins instructions. What a deal!

good luck and good health

Hiya NadaBaby! Welcome to Atkins and the ADBB.

Grant gave you good advice on reading the book. It's very important to understand the science behind Atkins. The 2002 edition is the one this board goes by, as it was the last one written in its entirety by Dr A.
In the meantime, roam the board, read the FAQs and the induction stickies and ask any questions you might have. We're here to help you wherever we can.

Happy losing!

Nadababy! Welcome to the board. I have to agree it's really important to follow this properly or you will sabotage your efforts. The FAQ's and induction forums are great places to start. Hope to see you there.
