Today's My First Day

[helenep]

Hi all, today is my first day on induction. I started out this morning with a colonoscopy so I thought this is a good day to start out with Atkins since I haven't eaten for a day. I am not sure what to set my goal weight. I am the heaviest weight now (even during my two pregnancies I was lower) 170. I am 5ft5 with small frame. I want to loose this weight not only to look better but especially for my health. My Father, Brother and Sister all have type 2 diabeties and I am committing to do this today until I get to my goal weight. I am inspired by reading all the posts. I will check in often and hope that someday I will be able to help inspire someone too.

Hello Helen, welcome to ADBB! Have you read Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution? We refer to the 2002 version at this site. I love eating lowcarb and doing Atkins. I am absolutely so much healthier in mind body and spirit.

Hello all,

I am back after failing twice. Cant say this time is different, but whereas I couldn't last 2-3 days. I have now restarted as of 1/2/07 and have not even wavered as to cheating. I am a sorry sad case, but I wont give up........lol Good luck all. Every year me and some friends of mine plan a vacation in a place where we can tour and see things we never seen. Last year, my heart broke as me and my friend had to hide the fact that we could not buckle our seatbelts on the plane. We were just too big! Not this year, I wont have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Helen. Today is always a great day to start this WOE and to meet people who want to help encourage you to make it happen. You'll never be alone here, there are so many who are working together to do it. I second the book reading, it is a great way to understanding exactly how Dr. Atkins' program works for us. Become involved in the forum by reading, posting and meeting others who want to see you succeed. This program works, we're happy to have you join us!

I had a experience knda like that. I went with my family to Knotts berry farm, it's like disneyland. We got on the newest, coolest roller coaster, and guess what? I didn't get to ride cuz my seatbelt wouldn't buckle. I thought i was gonna die getting off the ride and everyone was looking at me crazy. I cried later that night when i got home. I think that was my ultimate low inlife. I'll tell you what though. It won't happen again.
