        Thanks Angie

        You'll have some of your own before/afters before you know it! It is also a great idea to take starting measurements for when the scale is not playing.

        For more 'thinspiration' pics see this forum: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...splay.php?f=22

          Hi, Angie

          Welcome to the ADBB!

          I see that you have met Alexa - she is a UK'er, too. And yes, she does look fabulous! I love the link that she gave you with the tips for newbies... thanks Alexa! I'll be passing that around, too.

          I think it's great that you won't be hopping on the scale everyday... it can mess with your head. Make sure to take some measurements, because that is a better gauge of fat loss. And my favorite way to gauge fat loss is by keeping a piece of clothing that is too small, and watching it become too big.

          I'll give you a few more links that you may find helpful. The first one is to a website that a lot of us use for recipes. The rest are to some of the forums on this board. Good luck!

              Yes! Welcome to the board and if you haven't measured yet and took pictures, do it now. You will be happy to have them later on, that's for sure.

                Okay 1st of all, you all look gorgeous in your pics. I have taken measurments. And have just made an "easy" exercise plan for the 1st 2 weeks. I will add more when i get abit fitter! :P

                I am going to browse some posts now & get some tips and stuff!

                PS,
                I thought that i could have any mayonaise, but just found out the 1 i've been having all week has hidden sugars!!!! So i'm off to find 1 that don't or maybe a recipe how i can make my own!

                Thankyou, you all seem so kind!

                  Hi Angie
                  The others have given you some great links to look at, but I thought I'd give you one more - for making mayonnaise
                  http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad.php?t=27296
                  Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                  Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



                  Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!
