So far so good!

[1_day_closer]

I am new here so I thought I would write a little bit about me.
I actually started my diet last thursday.. I googled a question about Atkins and this sight popped up so I decided..I would sign up...and I am glad I did because it has been really helpful!!
I weighed myself last week and was in shock, like jaw dropping there must be something wrong with this scale shock! I had no idea I weighed as much as I did, you would think I would have known, but I honestly had no clue! So I decided I have to do something about it, not just for me but for my kids they need their mommy! With that being said here I am! Almost thru week one and feeling really good and optimistic. I have lost 10lbs already (which put a smile on my face and a sense of accomplishment in my head) I have to say I read a lot of stories and 1 ladies story was soooo inspirational that it made me really realize I CAN DO THIS!!

~Until next time~

Re: So far so good!

Welcome to the Atkins Board BB.

Congratulations on your success so far!! I hope you have (or will) read the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) ~ it's the book we follow here. It would be a helpful for you to have a copy of the book to refer to (www.amazon.com or www.half.com have inexpensive copies). At the top of the induction page you’ll find a condensed version of the book - (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html

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). www.Fitday.com is helpful for charting your food and helps keep you on track.

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.
