Hello everyone! I came across this site and figured its exactly what I may need to encourage me through the process. I looking forward to losing 10 to 15 lbs. Currently at 135 (5-4) and would like to reach 120-125!

Welcome!

Since you have little weight to lose, I would suggest you start Atkins in OWL.

Do you have a copy of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002)?

Hi and welcome yadira!

A few tips to help get you started: Drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water daily (nothing added), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin - these are mandatory with Atkins so start now and get off on the right foot.

Read the 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (we refer to it here as DANDR) and find great recipe ideas to keep from getting bored eating the same old thing

Re: So very excited!!!!

You would be surprised how resistant my body is to losing weight. My diet is strict as it is, but just low in calories. I restrict my carb intake, although not to the levels seen in Induction....this will most likely be the only way I will lose these last stubborn 10-15 lbs! God willing! I also exercise 4 days a week with weights and cardio. I am simply at a plateau. This is my last hope. I want to do things the natural way...without taking fat burners or other drugs that may harm my body. I am hoping this will work! Wish me luck!!

You might have difficulties losing weight exactly because you are keeping your calories too low.

So in what OWL rung are you?

Those last few pounds are always the hardest to lose so I hope stick with it and lose them!
