Welcome Holly!

You'll lose the 25 lb by Xmas, no doubt. Just stich with DANDR 2002, read the forums and ask questions. The moderators are excellent here.

Hi Holly, Welcome. I used to be on another board too and I loved the folks there but the numbers dwindled and Atkins seemed to be a secondary topic more than the focus. I have been on this board for awhile and find it on topic, consistent in its advice, and a great support network.

Hi and welcome Holly -

Good luck with your goal -- follow the plan 100% and you'll have no problem. On those days it seems hard or that you need help we're here for you!


Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and taking a multi-vitamin without iron (you should get enough iron with the foods you are eating on Atkins).

Check all around the board for everything there is to, there is a challenge section with both exercise and non exercise challenges, Rate My Menu for help with your food, journaling – something for everyone.

Make a copy of this list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)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.

Re: Hello to me..

Thank you so much. Just bought a portable stepper from Big 5. I'm ready to tone that booty... Its been a slow process of losing this time so exercise is a must!
