Keisha, the book you need is the 2002 version of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. In the mean time, read this link: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...-new-read.html

It's full of all kinds of info, including some important places on the board.

About whether you can lose X amount of pounds by a certain date. It really is impossible to say... I will say this, though. You will get out of Atkins, exactly what you put into it. You sound enthusiastic - that's a great start!

Now read that link, get the book and read, and post often. Good luck!

There are several different covers for the book, but yes - I have seen it with a red cover. The best way to know is to look for the 2002 copyright date.

Welcome to the board Keisha! You are young and enthusiastic so you should have no trouble losing weight, although I can't tell you how much or how soon. Just stick to the diet, not just for now but for life, and you will have won the battle of the bulge for good!
