Welcome to !

Don't forget to eat your veggies, drink plenty of water, exercise and take your vitamins.

Happy losing!

Welcome to the board, vicky!

You will find all the support and encouragement you need right here. And the people who say Atkins isn't a healthy diet, just don't know what they're talking about. This diet does more to alleviate problems like high blood pressure and insulin resistance than any other one out there, so just stick to your guns and ignore them!

Good luck to you!

Re: great to find support

THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH QUICK REPLYS DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M ON MY OWN NOW AND IT'S A NICE FEELING. MY HUBBY KEEPS SAYING HE LOVES ME THE WAY I AM BUT I NEED TO LOVE ME!! I WANT TO WEAR MY LOVELY CLOTHES AND FEEL COMFORTABLE INSTEAD OF HIDING UNDERNEATH BAGGY THINGS. I'M A BUBBLY SOUL BUT THAT HAS DWINDLED LATELY DUE TO FEELING SO UNCOMFORTABLE AND TIRED. I HAVE JUST BOUGHT SOME EXCERCISE EQUIPMENT AND HAVE ALREADY DONE SOME SIT UPS ROWING AND STEPPING, ONLY 20 MINS BUT HEY IT'S A START, SMALL STEPS CAN BE REWARDING

Vicky,

Yeah you'll walk around the block and be death tired. Then two times around the block, etc until you're walking/jogging miles per day. Slow starts are good.

Atkins is healthy for you, in fact I'm looking forward to tossing my high blood pressure meds soon after I lose enough weight, and get fit. If you want, have your doctor do a complete blood work before you start, and after you're done and compare the results.
