Welcome to the board, and good luck! Getting through the first few days are the roughest IMO, so be sure to post often if you need assistance or encouragement. I found if I was posting I couldn't be eating stuff I shouldn't.

Thats exactly what got me motivated. It wasnt to be thinner, or feel better for me, it was for my little boys. I have 3 boys, who were 6, 2 & 2 (twins). On a saturday morning I never wanted to get out of bed, by the time I dragged myself up, got us all dressed and ready to go, get to the park, then I was too knackered out to do anything but sit on the bench, and pray for time to pass so we could go home for a nap......THEY DESERVED SO MUCH MORE OUT OF MOM. I cant tell you how exciting it was to take them to McDonalds and I actually fit in the tubes with them!!!

I stuck to it...cheat free for MONTHS at a time....then fell off the wagon big time. I'm here, 2nd time around to get back my energy level and my "Hot" mom figure....

We can do this girl.

Welcome to our ADBB family, wrjordan

You have the best of motivation with your little one and we are all here to help you stick to it!!

My advice to anyone would be to make sure you plan in advance what you are intending to eat and prepare 'legal' foods for meals and snacks, so if you feel hungry you can easily grab something on-plan!!

Thank you all for the support, today was a difficult day, my son was eating Mickey Ds and i was so tempted, but i didnt do it........phew....... anyways, day 3, very difficult but i have to go on..........How often should i weigh myself?? is it ok to use poppyseed which is like ranch for dressing on salad? its sweet. Anyways off to bed ps i had the worst headache all day and felt like i was going to fall down from being dizzy, bought an atkins bar and noticed after the fact that it had peanuts,,,, OOOOOOps guess am back to one, i will think of it as an extension of induction .........thanks all much love, will post a pic of me real soon

Well done for resisting the temptation of your son's food

As for the dressing, I would look at the list of ingredients to make sure it doesnt have much in the way of added sugar.

Try to get into the habit of reading the ingredients of any foods before eating them even if you dont have time before you buy them. That Atkins bar could have been put away till you reach the correct rung of OWL!!

Next time you feel dizzy and feel the need to eat something, make sure it is one of the allowed snacks you have prepared ready for these occasions (you have got some sorted out ready?). Probably a piece of cheese or meat would have made you feel better just as quickly as eating a processed food like the bar and would hav been 'legal',
