    Newbie

    HI~

    I am new to Atkins and I am looking forward to this journey. I have tried many but I believe this life change will be the one for me. Everyone seems so supportive and thats what I need. I am however going through withdrawls from Mt.Dew...Yes I am addicted to it so I haven't fully started. I believe by Monday I will not be so shaky. Thanks for listening.

        Welcome Jamaican Girl! Good to have you with us.

        Hang in there! After a few days of feeling rough, you'll get over the hump and start to feel wonderful, not to mention more energised.

        Kudos to you for taking the approach that this is a "life change". That's the way to permanent success, for sure!

        Happy losing!

            Welcome, I am a newbie too. Failed a week ago and restarted only yesterday. Back on the horse.
            I am on day 2 and the strip is already purple.

            Lots of water and eggs for me...and I love spinach.

            My addiction was fruity candy....and I mean BAGS of candy.
            My kids called Skittles my "Crack". This is so hard for me so I am committed to visiting this forum daily to keep on track.

            Visit often.
            I love the success stories and quite honestly slowly becoming addicted to reading them.

              Hey Jamaicangirl,

              You will get a lot of support here. Most of us have given up some addiction to be here. My poison is strawberry shortcake and pound cake!

                    Hey Jamaican! Welcome to the board. After you've eaten this way for a few days or a week, you will not even want anything sweet to drink! You can do it!
