Thanks Tom for the welcome. It is probably the worst time for me to be starting Atkins as my kitchen is torn apart as of Friday. I do not have a stove for about 3 weeks. I do however have a barbeque, microwave, toaster oven and kettle.
So this will be extra challenging. I found some microwave containers for cooking eggs - not my preferred method but it will do.
I am 44 years old and have been overweight for about ten years from twenty to now 40 pds more than I should weigh to be in a healthy zone and about 60 pds. more than I'd like to weigh.
This extra weight is really effecting how I feel - my energy level. and I seem to be having aches and pains that I feel to young to have.
I am very active at work and I can feel my bulges getting in the way. By the end of my work day I am exhausted and don't have any energy left for my family. I don't want to feel that way anymore. I want to feel energetic and to have a desire to do some of the fun things I used to do such as canoeing, hiking and just going for long country walks with my dog.
It has been an exceptionally busy and stressful year. Feels like it's been non-stop since January. I know that I can deal better with all the demands if I'm healthy.
I am definitely a sugar/carb addict and I know induction is what I need to break me out of the cycle. I look forward to these boards for receiving and giving support.
I made it through day 1 and I'm on my way.
Are hot peppers allowed in induction? There is no sugar listed in the ingredients label.
Well, I'm glad to be here and look forward to getting to know you all.
I still feel like I will never lose the weight but need to have faith to follow the program and know that the results will follow.
