Hi everyone!
I'm a labrat from Baton Rouge, and enough is enough. At work and in my personal life, I'm awash in a major health movement. I've been overweight (to varying degrees) since I was 16-ish, and I'm really tired of dealing with the excess emotional and physical baggage. I also recently registered at 3FC and set up a blog there, but this board seems to have a great deal more traffic.
I've been on Atkins for a mere 2 days, but I've already lost 3 pounds, so I'll take it! I'm using DANDR edition 1992 (from Goodwill
), which I didn't do the first time I tried Atkins. Also, I had all the stupid little Russel Stover's low-carb candies I could get my grubby mitts on, so that's out too. The first time, I got frustrated by my stymied progress (especially in comparison to other family members). Only recently did I realize I went about it all wrong, and this time I'm giving it a go for real.
This community looks extremely informed and friendly, so I can't wait to get to know you all!

Yeah, it's funny how the low-carb industry sprang up then cannibalized itself in the name of profits. Everyone bought up all the Atkins-brand and sugar-free stuff they could, then got jaded at stalling on weight loss. Reading the book (and having a biologist background), it's obvious that the diet in its purest form works. Just people want to take shortcuts, and certain companies were more than happy to exploit that.
