    Hi...

    Hi everyone
    Hmm, where do I start? My name is Mel, I am 26, and I am a grad student, currently working on my Master Thesis. I've decided to give Atkins another chance - this is my second time trying. The first time I've lost about 25 pounds in 4 months, I was unhappy, felt it was too slow and I quit! But when I think about it now, I really overate and rarely exercised, so those 25 pounds actually were a blessing at the time
    Anyways, I am ready to start again, and I am planning to do so right after Christmas! So, the plan is to start Induction on the 26th, and just take it day by day...
    I currently weigh about 190lbs, and my goal is to be 118. (I know it may seem a bit low, but my mother, who is 52, has the same small frame as I do, and weighs around 118 and looks great, so, this is how I set my goal... )
    Oh, and I am from Serbia, so please forgive my possible language and/or spelling mistakes
    So, this is me... Wish me luck!!!

    Merry Christmas everyone!!!

    mini goal 1: 175
    mini goal 2: 158 - this is where my BMI starts being normal

    GOAL 1: 145 - this is the weight I will be happy with! Then, I'll take it slowly from there...
    GOAL 2: 130ish? I first set my goal at 118, but realized it might be just a bit low...

    Re: Hi...

    Merry Christmas Loooney. How do you guys celebrate it in Serbia - any specialty dishes or traditions? 25 pounds were great. Pick up something that weight that much and you'll know what I mean. Anyways see you on the 26th. Join some exercise challenges at the end of the month and you should be set to reach your goal.

      Well, there is one traditional Christmas dish - something called Sarma. I looked it up, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarma_(food) this is it! It's good, but not Atkins friendly if made traditionally! But, I guess it could be customized just a bit

      I started today, had breakfast and thinking about lunch right now...
      Hope everyone had a great Christmas

          Looks good - a kind of cabbage roll perhaps.
          Congratulations on starting.
