Hi and Tom –
Glad you decided to join us, you won't regret it. I hope you have read the 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution book - it's the book we follow here on the site. It's best to have all the information you can have for the best success.
Start exercising right away, drink plenty of pure water (64 ounces minimum daily – nothing added) and you’ll be on your way to loosing before you know it – don’t forget to get all your vegetables in daily!.
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 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html) - eat enough vegetables - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily. Many of us use www.Fitday.com to track our food so we know what our carb totals are for the day. It's important you know what you are eating and how many carbs you are taking in each day.
There is definitely a lot of info and inspiration on the site. I believe that enrolling in the challenges has helped to keep me motivated and accountable.
I look forward to hearing more on your success. We can all be inspirations to each other.
