Getting started today

[Valinerya]

I have a LOT to lose. Over 100 pounds.

I tried Atkins once before, and lost a good amount of weight. Stopped 40 pounds before goal after losing 60. I refuse to let that happen again. I've been reading the forums a great deal the past couple of weeks, getting a feel for the plan, and have been reading my copy of DANDR.

I'm ready. I'm scared, I'm hopeful, and I'm ready.

Re: Getting started today

Thanks guys! I started my own journal here too, as I tend to do better if I can sit and write out my thoughts, rather than holding stuff inside.

Had 3 eggs with 1/2 cup sauteed onion in butter and 1 oz cheddar cheese for breakfast. Off to a good start!

Hi and welcome back –

Don’t compare what you lost or how you did “the last time” your body and lifestyle isn’t the same as last time – follow the plan the way it is written, exercise, drink plenty of pure water (64 ounces minimum daily – nothing added) and you’ll be on your way to loosing before you know it.

Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support. Check the stickies at the top of the induction forum to refresh your memory on the plan. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/5781-before-you-begin-atkins-nutritional-approach.html.

The recipe sites are a helpful meal planning tool – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.
