  • Hello Everybody!

    Hello, I just wanted to start by introducing myself. I am 21 years old, 5'10, weighing in at 215 lbs. I'm getting married in August and I would just love to look great in my dress. no not great, stunning. absolutely stunning.

    i just started Atkins 9 days ago and I am already loving how I feel. I can never remember a time in my life, after the age of 10, when I had as much energy as I do now. I was very skeptical of the whole thing at first but now I know with absolute certainty that I can change my lifestyle and do atkins the rest of my life.

    I'm very excited about being able to move on from induction. I find myself craving fruits, which has never happened before. I no longer crave the sweets and am amazed by my willpower to avoid the rice and french fries which had become a daily MUST HAVE in my diet.

    So I'm very anxious to meet everyone and to become involved and be supported and help support others. feel free to drop me a line

      Congratulations on making it 9 days of Induction. That is wonderful.
      As for the cravings, They should have dissipated by now. You may want to post your menu in the review my menu thread. It could be you are adding something that has caused this.

      Have you read DANDR?? That is the most empowering book in the world.
      I can't suggest it enough.

      Congrats again on taking control of your life!! I wish you much success.

      Hugs,Tammy

        HI AND WELCOME!

        I´m too quite new to this and every time I read someone else has discovered this wonderful WOE I get so happy. I mean, who would have thought losing weight was this easy?
        I know all about the cravings you´re talking about, I had them too in the beginning. I basically craved everything that was high in carbs, the cravings do go away eventually thank God. Nowadays I don´t even want to eat bread, pizza and all of that unhealthy stuff, in fact I have nightmares about eating it!
        Anyway, I just wanted to wish you welcome to the ha , you´re going to love it here! I´m sure that if you just stick to the diet you´ll be an absolutely stunning bride. Good luck with your weight loss!

          It's actually more specifically an atkins friendly recipe that I'm craving, but it's not induction friendly, but it sounds so good that I want to make it. It's like a baked pear dessert and it sparks a craving because of how good it sounds.

              I know all about craving Atkins friendly food as well. There are so many things I can´t wait to taste when my induction is over! I´ve printed out a bunch of recipies of Atkins desserts, yum... What I want to taste more than anything is pancakes... Okay I think I´m starting to drewl so I´d better think of something else. I´ll go and have a sip of water. arty
