Hi Atkins Community!

I just watned to take a few minutes to introduce myself and check in. My current weight is 178 and I am hoping to get down to somewhere between 135-140. I am really excited about embarking on this lifestyle change and am very thankful to have an online community for support and ideas.

Hi Gatorgurl!

Get enough pure water in daily (64oz is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin. Like Jill said above, if you haven't already read the 2002 edition of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) you really need to get a copy and read it.

The new challenges will be starting in the next few days -- check them out and join a couple that interest you.

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. Rules of Induction: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What are the Rules of Induction?)

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out!
