Sounds like you are on the right path. Atkins, a gym and finding this site! I am fairly new here to so will let the others do advise.

Just wanted to say congratulations on a great start

Ricky, I'm proud you have made the decision to take control of your body.I would advise to stay in at least mild ketosis and drink tons of water as long as you can.You will find your hunger will be drastically reduced.Be careful in the gym.A lot of weight on those joints.Nothing wrong with walking for a hour a day.
