Hello I am new and ready for a life change

[BridgettThornton]

Hello all,

My name is Bridgett I am 23 years old and way to heavy and I have seen so many people I know succeed in losing a few vanity pounds to others losing 150 so I hope to succeed as well I currently weigh more then I ever have tipping the scales at 280 and that is super scary I don't want to die I just got married in July and my husband is extremely fit and athletic so I would like to keep up with him so wish me luck in my very long journey i hope to lose 2 pounds a week at least with low carb and lots of exercise and be a healthy weight of 145 in by 2012.

Hi and welcome Bridgett


Plan your meals for a few days so you have everything legal in your home. Linda's recipe site is very helpful with delicious recipes - it will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/menus.html.

The 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) is our guideline here on the board. Eat foods listed on the acceptable food list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html, eating a variety of foods and vegetables and count all “net carbs” (carb minus fiber equal net carbs).

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

Follow the plan as it's written and you'll have great success!! If you need anything we try to help each other here as much as possible.
