My name is Danielle.
This is my second go at Atkins, although it has been over 4 years since my last try. I am on day 5 of induction, and was surprised this time I lost my sugar cravings so quickly... by day 3 I didn't NEED to have sugar! That was a big success for ma, as it took MUCH longer last time.
My big opportunity right now is my energy level... which is low, low, low.
I will be checking out the boards for suggestions on that, and will take any advice I can get!
I am (finally) a stay-at-home mom (as of last July) with two darling boys, A.J. age 3&3/4 and T.F. age 3 this month. My little guys are 9 months apart (long story) and have about a million times more energy then I do, even on my best day! I am partly trying to loose my weight for them, as I want to be the best mommy in the world, partly for me, and partly for my husband, who married a really different looking gal. I am fortunate that my husband loves me any way, but I know we both would be happier if I looked and FELT better!
Prior to staying at home with the boys, I was a store manager for Starbucks Coffee for 15 years, so lowering my caffeine intake has also been a bit of a challenge, but I am adapting to my half-caf and will make the jump to decaf soon!
My first 5 days have lost me 4lbs, so I think I am off to a good start.
Thanks for letting me join this great supportive environment.
Cheers!

Glad you found us!! The energy should come back shortly...the conversion from carb burning to fat burning usually takes a few days.
