    Hello Everyone - Great Forum

    Hi All,

    My name is Bill and I am a new member.

    I just found this site today and it looks like a great source of information and support. I had used the Atkins diet about 10 years ago and lost over 40 lbs. I kept it off for some time but started to get a good deal of comments from friends and family about the diet so I switched to one closer to a food pyramid type diet. It was okay for awhile but in the last 2 years, the pounds started creeping back on. I have realized that the Atkins plan is the best for me. I started induction phase on Monday. I can tell from the strips that I am in ketosis but I have not yet lost weight. This is not getting me down because the same thing happened to me last time. Then in week two, I lost about 10 lbs.

    Anyway, thanks for a great site! I look forward to visiting often.

    On track to lose!

    Thanks,
    Bill

      Glad you're here, Bill!

      Once you get off induction and start moving up the OWL rungs, no one will be able to tell that you are not eating a "normal" diet, except that you'll be doing away with the bread, potatoes and starchy things.

      If you haven't bought the updated book please do so! It's this one. Amazon.com: Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution: Robert C. Atkins: Your Store

      Also, there are some wonderful stickies in the Atkins Phases section of these forums that will help you with some of the updated information that you may not have read.

      Best of luck to you!!!!!!!

          Bill - welcome and enjoy this new WOE. I've also experienced a 30+ lbs loss on Atkins years past. I know it works, and am committed to it just like you are. Good luck!

                          Hi Bill -- one piece of advise .... stay off the scales until induction is over. I hope you have the book and are reading it - drinking at least 64 oz of water a day and are exercising. Good luck on your journey
