hi there...

i live in the UK and i'm presently on day 6 of induction...this is my first time on atkins and i'm following the New Atkins New You 2010 book...

even tho i come from a slim family, i've been overweight since birth (i weighed in at just under 12lbs) and have tried every diet under the sun with little success...i'm now 5 foot 6 and weigh a miserable 300lbs plus...i used to be a very active outgoing person, even tho i was overweight, but all that has changed since my weight has crept higher and higher...i'm tired of hiding indoors where no one can see me, so i'm hoping atkins will finally unlock that door and allow me to step out into the sun again...

it's a pleasure to meet you all...

Re: another newcomer signing in...

thanks for the welcome liv...

things are going pretty well so far...my other half started atkins the same time as i did, so we're in it for the long haul...trying to co-ordinate menus can be a bit of a nightmare as he likes things i don't and vice versa, but we're just about managing...i tend to sort his daily menu out first and then try to fit mine around his...

i do have a few questions that i'd like to ask about the induction stage of the diet, so i'll have a look around the forums and find the appropriate place to ask them...

The induction forum is a good place to ask questions so I'll guess I'll see you there.
