Taking the plunge

[mommabear23]

Hi everyone,

Just starting out on my journey (again). It seems to be so much harder this time and I am going to need some help. I am so inspired by all of your stories, achievments and struggles. I have 3 children and a hubby so I have to convince the whole bunch of them it is time for a change. My kids and hubby will only benefit from a lifestyle change as lately we have been a not so active family.

Well here I go and hopefully it is just down down down (weight wise that is).

Re: Taking the plunge

Hi momma, just take it one meal at a time and pledge to do a little more activity each day--no major shake ups, no need to add the pressure. Just take a walk or park the car further from the grocery store- any little thing to get you started. You will do fine.

Re: Taking the plunge

I took the plunge again 2 months ago, and am so thankful for it. As you know it really is a full on decision, and sometimes it's hard when the whole family isn't part of it. You can do this though! One day at a time Good Luck!

Re: Taking the plunge

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

Regardless of what you did before, or what people are doing now, your body is different than anyone so it’s best not to compare things - less pressure for you also! Look around and find what interests you and join in. Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support.

Get enough pure water in daily (64oz is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin.

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out! Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check the acceptable food 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) - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily.
