    New to Atkins =)

    Hello my name is Jessica

    I have just started the Atkins diet on Monday and am very excited to see that I lost 5lbs in 5days! Wow! I am a mother of 3 one boy 5yrs and two girls ages 3 and 1 yr. My husband started this a few yrs ago and lost a lot of weight but I was pregnant and couldn't follow the guidelines. I am hoping to lose around 60lbs & meet some new online friends!

    Re: New to Atkins =)

    Welcome to the board Jessica! Make yourself at home and do a lot of reading in the forums. Especially the sticky threads. They have some great information. And trust me, if there is something you are going through, there is someone on the board that has gone through it too. It seems the more people read and post, the more successful they are. I know it was true for me. I started last March but didn't do that well because I didn't spend enough quality time here. I came back in January and it has been downhill (for my fat) ever since then!

    Do you have the book? Here, we go by the 2002 DANDR because that is the last book Dr. Atkins wrote before his death.
