Hey ya'll! New here!

[Dollydagger1979]

Hello everyone! MY name is Allison, and I have a heck of a goal.

I'm at my heaviest and most unhealthy weight. 249lbs. My goal is ultimately 150 lbs. I just had my 30th birthday this month and realized that I need to do something after looking over my b-day pics. I hate my picture taken. I also have been recently diagnosed with PCOS and borderline high blood pressure AND bordeline diabetic. I was put on Metformin, and its helping somewhat. I would like to have children someday, and don't know if I can b/c of the PCOS and overweight issues. Well here goes induction, 2 days in. Wish me luck!

good luck. It takes commitment and patience. It can be frustrating, but extremely gratifying! Stick to the plan and you will be amazed. Have fun!

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

Most of us have felt like you are today -- that's what brought us here, so you're in a great place for support. A few things to help you get started:

Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and taking a multi-vitamin. If you haven't already, read the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR).

Eat the foods on the acceptable food list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html and find wonderful recipes here: just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with. Vary your meals so you don't get tired of eating the same thing over and over -- we have too many choices for that to happen.
