    Welcome to ADBB!

    Whether or not you'll lose 40 lbs by the end of June, you'll surely be smaller by then. Better not to set deadlines for weight loss, as we are not in full control of the rate at which our body loses weight.

    Are you reading Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002)?

    What's your planned menu for today?

          I should add that the 11lbs lost on my ticker have been gradual since last september. (not through atkins!)

            Re: new to the board and also new to atkins!!

            Thank you guys I am so glad to see that I am not alone!! so far I had one egg, 1 slice of cheese, and 2 slices of cold turkey for breakfast. They all add up to 3g of carbs......does that seem like an ok start?
            Again thank you for the support!

              Don't see how that adds up to 3 carbs ... an egg (large) is 0.39, and a slice of cheese is less than 1.

              And it's "net" carbs!

              Are you reading the book, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002)?

              What vegetables do you have planned for the day?

                If the turkey had lots of carb it is probably from sugars (like dextrose) and not a great choice. Unfortunatly not easy to find cold cuts that are sugar free.

                It is a pretty good start though. I would probably eat two to three eggs myself. It fills me up better and keep me going to the next meal. Keep sipping water.
