Hi, bozwellruby

Welcome to ADBB.

I'm glad that you find Atkins easy to stick to, and you are feeling better about yourself already. Isn't that great?

Hey, refresh my memory... how many pounds is a stone? I forget.

It sounds like you are doing well. Make sure that you stick close to the board, and post often. This is a great place for information, support, and friendships. Good luck to you!

Mitzi, a stone is 14 pounds so bozwellruby has lost 7 pounds already! Way to go!

I'm glad you've found the board, you will love it! Good luck with your weight loss and congratulations on what you have done so far!

Welcome to the boards! If I can be so bold as to suggest a few things that I have learned along the way... don't cheat. Stay to the purest form of induction that you can. It does matter. Also, when you find yourself frustrated or a bit down, read the boards and all the great posts and journals of people just like you. They helped me immensely when I found that I had hit a wall. Also, realize that this is not an instant weight loss diet. It does take time even if you lose rapidly in the beginning. It will eventually slow down and that's where the staying at it begins. The easiest thing about this way of life is that you will not feel hungry or deprived. You have lost 7 pounds and that is tremendous! Enjoy the victories as they come along! It feels great to be in control! Keep posting - we all enjoy celebrating!!

Hi Again,
thanks for making me feel welcome i will post pictures when i see a big difference. I have not been tempted to cheat, my parner had fish and chips tonight but i would not dare just take one chip.......i am that devoted. I am on holiday in september and i just want to look really great i want to be 140 lbs or so because i would like to be able to treat myself to some new clothes.

Great job on resisting the chips! I often find myself having to resist the "just one" mentality!
