New here little nervous!!
I started almost three weeks ago, and am down 12 lbs. I'm 24 mother of 3 and in need of losing 50 lbs. I am currently 180 and hoping that I stick to it so I can have fun at Disney World with my children in May '10 and not be worn out from being over weight. I read this forum for many weeks and wasn't sure if I should join but you people seem to be a wonderful inspiration so I said what the heck!

Re: New here little nervous!!
I bought the book probably 6 months ago but I was one of those people "I'll start Monday" and never did. I'm going to start the OWL next week. I went a little longer on the induction because I cheated the first week and didn't get fully into ketosis till the 2nd week.
Thank You All so much for your welcomes and I'm looking forward to low carbin with you all.

Re: New here little nervous!!
Welcome
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. Also, start a journal, it's a great place to get everything out in the open, be accountable to yourself - you'll also meet some great people there! http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...journal-chats/
make sure you don't eat the same thing over and over -- we have such great choices for menu ideas....

I read it then and I use it as a reference now. I'm glad I kept it, it did collect some dust but I have it now and reading all over again.Originally posted by atkinsgal08 View PostComment

Re: New here little nervous!!
Thank you all very much its so nice to have the support. I have a hypothyroid so I'm on synthroid. I always thought that it would be extra hard for me to lose weight but I'm beginning to see I have the power to over come.Comment
