HI-I"M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

[ginap]

Hi everyone- I'm so excited to finally start this diet, I've been putting it off with every excuse I could come up with. I don't feel I need to lose too much weight, 25 pounds the most, but nothing has motivated me. I got married almost a year ago and I've already put on 20 pounds and so I need to take things seriously....NO MORE WASTING TIME. I'm trying to convince my husband but he wants to see results first !!
I did have a question....Is it okay to eat Beef Jerky, like the Slim Jims, I've gotten mixed answers before!! Thanks for having me everyone, I look forward to losing the weight with ya'll

Welcome Ginap

There is no time like the present. I started about this time last year and so thankful I didn't put it off. I have wonderful results and I feel like a whole new person.

Buy the book, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution edition 2002. Read it thoroughly, follow the rules, exercise, drink lots of water and take supplements. Your husband will definitely notice the new energetic and smaller you. You won't have to worry about convincing him.

Keep us posted on your success!! Best Wishes!!! :wave

Hi its good to see that you decided to start and put it off no longer---- about the beef jerky- i think that it can stall some people because of all the sodium and other ingrediants in it, plus some have sugar added to it as well- i do know that some have eating it , but im not sure if its"technically" allowed in induction..

Beef jerky has a lot of sugar in the marinade, but if you can make your own or find it with no sugar, it is fine. Slim Jims are okay I think. If you don't have a problem with sodium, I think your fine.
Welcome and really glad that you found us.
