Hi! New to this adbb!

[wobblybits]

New to this adbb but not to atkins. I did it before, 4yrs ago and was thrilled with the results!
Alas, my life changed, I moved house, bought a car (which had a devastating effect on my walking regime) and changed jobs.
Recently, my son took a photo of me while on a break, needless to say, I hated what I saw staring back at me in the frame!
I have visited this site soooo many times and I have decided to pick up my atkins book to re read it, to clear the kitchen shelves and fridge of rubbish and to stock up on all the atkins things I will need to start again on this journey. I start on Monday 5th of October.
The reason I signed up here is for info, help, support but most of all, now I have signed up, it means (to me) that I am serious about doing it and sticking to it as best I can!
To all the people whom have posted your before, during and after pictures, thank you, you all have inspired me to give it another go!
Thanks and I'll keep you posted!

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. Look around and find what interests you and join in. Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support.

The plan works when you follow it the way it was written -- hopefully you already have the 2002 DANDR book and have read it. 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.

Welcome Wobbly. Hopefully you will have to change your name before too long. This site helps keep you focused and honest with yourself. I know when I am not visiting the boards I am failing in other areas as well so staying online here is one of my strategies. Hope you find us helpful in your journey too.
