My Intro:

I'll be 34 in a few weeks. I'm 6'4".

With the new year, I have decided to get serious about losing weight and getting healthy. I lost 40 pounds on Atkins several years ago, but due to lack of follow through and a knee injury, it's back and more.

Starting induction today and I feel motivated. I have read this forum from time to time and I thought if I posted up, it might give me some help as I go through this process.

Giving up caffeine will be hard for me. First goal is to get under 300 pound so that my scale will work .

Welcome to ADBB!

Do your measurements and take pics, especially being as your scale wont work at the moment, it will help keep you motivated!

You can record your measurements at www.fittogether.net

Good Luck!

You've made a great decision coming back to Atkins. I wish you lots of luck and stay strong...you'll be under 300 in no time.

Hey Rob,

I find that posting helps me alot .. even if i just have a low carb thought i wanna share with everyone .. It keeps me motivated !! I lost about 40 lbs a few years ago too .. Gained about 20 back ... Im on day 3 now and feel better already !

Good Luck !!

Thanks for the kind words. Day two is going pretty good. Check out my fit day to see what I have eaten so far. I have been drinking tons of water (100 ounces so far).

Still have dinner to eat. That will be some leftover venison heated up with some butter this time to get some fat (that seems so wrong).

Good luck to everyone. I want to go buy a scale just to see where I'm really at.

Every lb gone counts so don't get discouraged if you don't lose exactly what you expected. You WILL get there just stick with it!
