You could start here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...-approach.html

While you are reading your copy of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002), the links in here will also help you with Induction:

Hi Gina! When I first started trying to lose weight a couple of years ago, I had never used a bulletin board like this, did not know any of the dieting terms or simple Internet acronyms. It took time but bit by bit I learned how to do tickers, post pictures and links to other sites, use the smilies and use colors or bolding in my posts, etc.

Just come here often and you'll pick things up. And you'll learn about Atkins and get slimmer/healthier at the same time.

Welcome to the board, Gina!

You will learn all that 'stuff' just by reading and trying out different things. It's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.

Congrats on your loss so far!

Re: IM Lost

Hi Gina-

You "sorta"have to just look around and figure things out a little.

One thing to do:
Go to "Quick Links" on the top of the page

Click on Edit Signature, Edit Options, Edit Details, and just fill in some of the info. You also should be filling out your signature into---like this:

Start weigh/current weight/goal
200/150/140
Started 1/00/2010


Look at other people's posts and see what"fits" for you.

Also this may be helpful:
TO be advised a reply has been made to a thread you have posted on:

----->Go to----

"Edit Options"---->Messaging & Notification--->Default Thread Subscription Mode----> choose "instant email notification" in the drop down.

You will be notified by email when a thread you have started or posted to is replied to.

If you wish to stop getting email about a specific thread, go to your "subscribed threads" and delete those specific threads.

Good luck to you.

Re: IM Lost

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

To get started, 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 not long ago.

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”. 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. 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.

Exercise, take a non-iron multivitamin and drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), daily. 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!
