Hi all,

Nice to meet you, my name is Bree. I'm an American expat in Dublin, 27, heavy and ready to change. In fact, so is my OH! We're embarking on Atkins together for the first time having had great success separately in the past.
I have about 40 lbs (or 2.5 stone ) to loose overall to get back to my "normal" weight –*last seen just after getting married over three years ago.
He has much more–*80 lbs or about 6 stone.

After rationalising the weight gain for over a year with "We're just big people" and "We love our food", last weekend we decided to make the change.

Monday was Day 1 of Induction and that was hard! I re-read Diet Revolution, made menu plans, food lists and spread sheets to prepare –*but still got the cranky lows of carb withdrawal. Around 6pm yesterday things started looking up and this morning I woke from the first deep sleep I've had in months.

Today I feel great, ready for anything! Can't wait for Friday's measurements!
