hi everyone!

[just4me]

I'm not so new here I was here years ago every day and then I made excuses and everything went downhill. I'm here though this time to succeed and I WILL. I couldn't find my book and what motivated me again and got me on the right track was that my library was having a book sale of all books they were discarding. Fill a bag for 2.00. There were three atkins books sitting there, so in a hurry I filled my bag and with joy left knowing ok I have to read and get back on track. I've lost 3 pounds in my first four days of induction and feeling sooo motivated! hello to all!

Re: hi everyone!

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

First things first -- no excuses! You are worth being healthy - the way Atkins makes you feel is worth it - just get on plan and do it!! 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 - just follow the plan. Look around and find what interests you and join in. Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support.

I hope you already have the 2002 DANDR book and have read it, it is the edition we follow on this site. If not it's worth a few dollars to purchase. 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?)(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.

Re: hi everyone!

Thank you everyone! yes I have the 2002 book and the via nutrient book which I found VERY interesting as well! I'm on day five cheat free, and feeling great. My washing machine broke down and I was so stressed came up to the kitchen started opening cupboards and then realized THIS is what gets you, AND walked away realizing I'm more important than the washer! I really feel like this time I'm on the road to success!!

Re: hi everyone!

Good for you! I am in the same boat and it definitely takes conscious decision making to retrain our awful old habits. I am back doing a clean Induction myself after a month of half-hearted effort. Sounds like you are really focused this time. Glad to hear it.
