    Hello To All.

    My name is Mick and i have been very successful using the Atkins plan in the past. I am unhappy with my current weight and it is far past time to do something about it. I was recently diagnosed and treated for cancer and as of my last check up have no signs of cancer but there is no guarantee, so I am trying to live my second chance life more responsibly. Atkins is a big step in that direction.

    I am starting the two week induction diet tomorrow. Trying to minimize the junk carbs today. On the lighter side, doing the shopping was fun; chicken, beef and eggs. It does take me back!

    I'm looking forward to participating here on a daily basis. It seems that a lot of people have found help and encouragement here.

    Yay for you, Mick, for making a wise choice for both weight control and help in keeping the big, ugly, C in remission. Welcome. I'm rooting for your success.

                So far so good! My new mission is to figure out exactly how much an appropriate serving size for spaghetti squash is...less than a cup for sure, and then grill enough chicken breast for a few days.

                I've been working on drinking enough water and visualizing where I want to be. Thanks to each of you for your support. As I said earlier, it means the world to me.

                      Thanks! In an odd way, my cancer has acted to focus me and prioritize what is important; God, Family, friends. I have been given a reprieve, for however long it lasts (and I am hopeful that it lasts a long time). Getting down to a healthy weight is a goal i would really like to achieve, kind of like training for a big boxing match. I'm trying to be ready, to tie up loose ends and rectify areas where I have fallen short. I'm very grateful to Dr. Atkins for this plan and, as I mentioned previously, for the encouragement I have gotten here.

                      I don't want to be 'Mick the cancer guy' but i did feel it was important to mention it by way of introduction. I'm here to focus on wellness. Anything I can do for anyone regarding 'c' (yep, small c) feel free to PM me.

                      Best wishes.

                      Mick
