This is it! Day One!

[MAGENTA212]

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah, and I am the newest of the newbies. This is my first time trying any kind of bulletin board. So, after many failed attempts at dieting, maybe sharing my efforts will keep me on track and motivated. I joined a gym, said goodbye to my last beloved Mountain Dew, and am prepared to do what it takes to make a difference in myself, emotionally as well as physically. I am tired to being the chubby friend! So, if anyone has any stories or words of encouragement, I'm all ears (or eyes in this case). Thank you all in advance!

Welcome to ADBB. The board is full of stories of success with this WOE (way of eating). Don't hesitate to ask questions. People will probably ask you pretty early on if you have read the book DANDR 2002. Try to get yourself a copy if you haven't already got one.

Yes just look around a bit and you will see many who are doing so well. Hang around here and share stuff and bits of pieces of your journey. It helps keeps us motivated. And it is good to have company who understands what we are going through.
Welcome to the diet.

My first advice would be to get the book (Dr Atkins New Diet Revoution 2002) and follow it to a T. It works. Good luck

Re: This is it! Day One!

Hi everyone again! Everything seems to be going great! I've got a bit of a caffiene withdrawal headache, but I hope the payoff will be well worth this tiny bump in the road. I'm glad for all the posts and replies. It keeps me coming back every day and right now my motivation is through the roof! And with all the foods there are to choose from, most of them being my favorites, this diet seems almost to good to be true. Us southern girls can't lived without boiled crawfish this time of year, better known as mud-bugs. Ha ha. But I'm sure not to stuff myself. Thank you for the posts once again!

Re: This is it! Day One!

well day one.. did not give up my coffee.. love it to much but i do drink it black. i know it is not good but oh well just cant do it

Re: This is it! Day One!

How much coffee did you have?

Did you count 1 net carb per 8 ounces?

Re: This is it! Day One!

Princess, ya I did not stop my coffee intake either, but I do add a little cream and 1 splenda. Last time I was on atkins and lost 60lbs I didnt give it up either. Actually I never even counted the carbs in it and I still lost like a champ!! (but I did count the carbs in the cream/splenda)

Re: This is it! Day One!

>>I never even counted the carbs in it>>

Are you counting them "this time"?

[Amber_Girl79]

Re: This is it! Day One!

nope not counting them! (but if you read through the whole thing I said I do count the cream and splenda.) and it didnt affect my weight loss. Lets see what happens this time!

Re: This is it! Day One!
