17years since last time I did Atkins seriously

[cl1553]

Hi, this is my first time to this site. I just had my third child in November and now I really need to lose the weight. I did Atkins seriously about 17years ago while in high school but since then have only cut out carbs when I needed to lose a few pounds. I have now decided I need to really focus on some weight loss. This week on Monday I decided to start watching my carbs again but now I am really ready to do the whole induction phase to really help start me off right. There is so much on this site I am still looking at everything. Not sure where to start first. I plan on tomorrow being my first day of induction. I hope to read thru a lot of your post and get some great tips and advise. Thanks for reading this and wish me well!

Charlotte:

Have you read the book? Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002 edition). How is your progress going so far? How are you feeling?

Welcome to ADBB. Happy Friday.

I'm feeling good so far. I'm going to go to Target tomorrow and look for the book. Since I just started watching my carbs on Monday and think i stayed around 75-80 Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Yesterday I found this site and read up on the induction phase so I just stated that today. I check the scale this morning and I've lost a pound since Monday. But I think really focusing on staying under/at 20 per day is going to be a big help. I really like this site, so much info and so many people to give advise. Thanks for your reply

hi Charlotte -- if you didn't find a copy of the book at Target you can get one on line fairly inexpensively (I have a hardback and a soft copy both bought "used" for under $5.00 including shipping) on www.amazon.com or www.half.com. Look at the "used" section - both mine were considered used but had never been opened when I got them. If only took a few days to get to my home also. You can get the basic information here on the board, but it's best to have the book on hand.
