Today's the day!!

[Emma2009]

Today I decided to go for it!
Don't know why, but woke up with a determination quite unknown to me!
I bought an Atkins book some time ago but have only ever read it and put it down again.....
I've read over the book again this morning and been online looking for tips and advise which is how im here
So Day 1 is full swing
Off to measure various parts of my massive body LOL
Check in again soon X

Good job with the measuring... I wish I would've done that... The first few days are the hardest, then it gets easier. Good luck in your journey.

Hi and welcome to ADBB.

I'm glad you have the book and have taken your measurements - you are way ahead of most newbies!! At the top of the induction page you’ll find a condensed version of the book - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html for quick reference while you are online.

Make a copy of this list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html and take it with you when you go to the store. If a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list don’t eat it. Learn to read the label on all foods you buy - don’t just look at the “carb” number look at the ingredients list of everything and check the ingredients against your list. Just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. Also check for hidden sugars (learn the names used in place of the word “sugar”).

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

One day at a time. Good for you, Emma!

Re: Today's the day!!

The hardest part is learning to say NO. At least for me. Once you learn to do that and stand your ground you will be good to go. And seeing the weight start to come off is a VERY big motivator (at least for me) and you want to say no at that point.

Good luck!
