Hi!

[lessthan<3]

Hi, I'm new to this website and new to atkins.


I have been told I have hypothyroidism, so it's hard for me to lose weight and I've realised that possibly it could be down to the conversion of carbs. I begin my induction tomorrow.


I really want to get down to at least 110 lbs as I am only 5ft and at 150 lbs which I feel is heavy for my little frame. I've tried low-calorie, low-fat etc and none have helped at all which is not too good. I also feel that I would need some support to get the weight off and to keep it off. So I appreciate all the help and advice that you lovely members can offer me

Re: Hi!

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

Glad you found the board and are excited about starting the plan. Make sure you read the book - it will give you the knowledge you need to get to your goal. I'm glad you are reading the 2002 DANDR. Eat only foods listed on the acceptable food list and eat a variety of foods and vegetables. (Atkins Diet Induction FAQs) http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html.

A few more 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/

To make sure you don’t become bored by eating the same thing over and over look at these wonderful recipe sites – we have such great choices for menu ideas, eat a variety of things:

Re: Hi!

I have hypothyroidism too. I am on 25 mcg of levothyroxine. I have been on the diet two days and have lost three pounds. It is not impossible and your meds should help you with your thyroid. I tried all kinds of diets too and felt hopeless. I started doing this and I feel great!!! Good luck!
