Trying again....

[bckyrdbbqr]

Hi All,

My name is Maria. I had trouble activating my account, so I have been trolling for a few days. Kent and Georgianna got that fixed for me, thankyou, thankyou....so here I am .... I like what I see...this is a wonderful group to be a part of. I did Atkins WOE about ten years ago and was quite successful. Then life threw some curves and old addictions returned. I have finally had enough and started induction on Friday Dec 4. I had tried a couple times over the last year or so but must not have been ready...so now I am on day 5 of a clean induction....yesterday was the hardest...i had all sorts of cravings...i probably ate too much thru the day but it was all induction food ..so I didn't cheat even though I really wanted to. Anyway, I look forward to this journey again and hope that 60 lbs goes away with relative ease.

Maria

Hi Maria, This site uses the 2002 version of Atkins' book so it may be different from the one you used ten years ago. You may also want to check the stickies in the Induction and Extended Induction forums as a refresher. Best wisheds on a successful start.

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

Regardless of what you did before, or what you read other people are doing, your body is different than anyone so it’s best not to compare - just follow the plan the way it's written. 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. Drink a minimum og 64 ounces of pure water daily, exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin – these are mandatory when following Atkins.

Check this page for answers to a lot of your questions: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. Make sure you are eating enough vegetables – Atkins isn’t just meat and cheese – vegetables are a huge part of your daily menu and is where most of your carbs should be coming from.

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