    Hello from a newbie

    well, mybe not that new. I did Atkins about 15 years ago with a friend. I wanted to loose about 10lbs. I really did it to support my friend. Now need to loose 30lbs. I had major surgery on my leg and fractured my ankle last year. Sitting around healing and recovering is how I gained the 30 lbs. I don't know how it happened ... one day my cloths didn't fit.
    In any case, Ihope to loose it by August ... but sooner would be fine. I still have trouble walking, but I do what I can daily .... at least one trip around the block with the dog. Some days a little more. Jumping or running out of the question untill the hardware is removed in september and I have recovered from that.

    Minigoals
    Goal#1: 169 and daily walks with the dog. Met
    Goal#2: 159 and Schutzhund with the dog ... but not getting out of breath. Longer, faster paced walks with dog 3x/week. MET
    Goal#3: 150 , Hiking 3 times a week for a total of 15 or more miles, Bike 1-2 times a week.

      Welcome to the board, barbiedoll!

      Do you have the 2002 edition of the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution? It's the one we use here and it's a must read!

      I hope you are fully recovered soon and can get more exercise because it really helps the weight come off.

      Keep us posted on your progress!

        I'm looking for the '02 version of the book. I plan to stop at Walmart on my way to work tonight and see of they have it. I did down load the induction food list from the site and reviewed the rules for induction here. I'm planning a clean induction so I have a few adjustments to make ... like 1/2 & 1/2. I'm only doing 1 cup of coffee and I tried it black ... yuck! So I'm using heavy cream in it. I also need to get some pork rinds. I love crunchy stuff and ... My name is Barb and I'm a carbaholic.

            I also started my fitday.com thingy. I think I like it. A good way to keep track of what I eat.
