      Welcome Andy!

      No need to be shy around here because we have all been where you are and have faced the same problems so just jump right in.

      Do you have the 2002 version of the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution? It's a must read and the best motivator I know.

      Good luck to you and keep us posted on your progress!

          SHY!? No reason to be shy! Welcome to the board, you have come to the right place for support. Everyone on this board faces the challenge of getting the weight off or maintaining! Good luck reaching your goal!

              Looks good - was that mayo? I am sure someone is going to tell you to eat veggies with every meal!

                  The avocado is a 'special' food on Atkins. The book is available at pretty much any bookstore (make sure you get the 2002 version!) . It is also online at Amazon.
