Hi all,
I thought I had better introduce myself as I have been lurking now for 4 days!!!
I'm on day 4 of Induction and the scales said today that I have lost 7lbs! I started at 165 now down to 158, my goal is between 126 and 133.
I'm feeling ok, apart from very tired by about 8pm. Drinking about 4 litres of water a day and generally below 20g of carbs a day. I must admit I haven't done any exercise yet, but am going to the gym tomorrow and Sunday to get started on that side.
More about me, I'm a 31 year old female, married and we have a gorgeous little boy. My aim is to get to the weight I was when I got married 5 years ago. I'm now the heaviest I've been without being pregnant, so much for being a yummy mummy!!!
Thanks for reading!!!

Hi and welcome!

Make sure you're eating the correct foods and following the 2002 DANDR book. I'm glad you are going to start exercising - it really helps more than you think it will. Cudo's on drinking your water -- hopefully it's pure water, nothing added!

Check all around the board for different things that might interest you -- the more involved you are the more you'll learn here.

The recipe sites are so helpful to me and have been since day 1. I have my favorite recipes but also look for 1 new thing to eat each month. Don't make the mistake of eating the same thing over and over - you'll become bored and stop. Atkins gives you so many choices and the food is so tasty you'll wonder why you haven't been eating this way long before this.

make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.
