Re: Hello. I'm new........ish

Welcome, hopefully, since Atkins isn't a "diet" but a "Way of Eating" (WOE) for a lifetime you'll do much better this New Year!

Make sure you read the book - it will give you the knowledge you need to get to your goal. If you can’t find a copy locally of the 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) check online at www.half.com or www.amazon.com – I got a “used” copy recently for less than $5.00 including shipping.

Plan your meals for a few days so you have everything in your home and you won’t be tempted to eat something not allowed. Eat only foods listed on the acceptable food list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What foods can be eaten on Induction?) make sure you eat a variety of foods and vegetables and count all “net carbs”. Check Linda's recipe site it will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/menus.html.

Drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin daily. Look at the challenges to see if there is anything that interests you - 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/. There’s something for everyone here!

If you need anything we’re here to help you!!

Good luck to you

Thanks Carole. Speaking of journals, I already have one but it's locked (or hidden, or whatever). Can you get it re-instated for me?

Re: Hello. I'm new........ish

I think the best thing to do would be to start a new one. You know fresh start, clear mind, new beginnings ...
Welcome back and good luck on your restart

Re: Hello. I'm new........ish

I saw this and thought maybe someone had made a reply to an old post of yours or something? Newish? I don't think so!

Welcome back =)

Thanks Liv. Those are very good thoughts but I would like my journal chat journal back please. I have a lot of knick knacks in there.

Re: Hello. I'm new........ish

I found this in the Journal Chat forum written by our lovely JimmieJo:

"The Moderators of the forum request that you start one journal only. At the discretion of the Moderators, multiple journals for one member will be merged with the most current one. After 4 months of absence all journals belonging to one member will be merged in chronological order.

Journals are not normally deleted, they are closed. This ensures that it will be available to the member at any time. "

So I should only have ONE journal and they are never deleted...just closed so that they can be available to a member (me) at any time.
