Tomorrow is Day 1! :)

Hi Everyone!

Okay so a lil' bkgd on me! I did Atkins when I was in my last year of high school...so about 6 years ago after I had gained at least fifty pounds in a short amount of time. I lost all of that weight within a very short period of time.

6 years later after university I gained it all back!!! I am back to a great WOE but I need Atkins to give a boost to start a lifelong WOL. I definitely need the support. I am starting to sound like a broken record in my life and thought that if I come online I can be accountable and I need tons of help with my induction menu.

I am going on vacation May 25 and would love to be a smaller but realistic size. Even a pound less than I am would be awesome! I am aiming for about 25 pounds though! We'll see!

I plan on exercising vigorously which is what I did like a fiend in high school when I was on Atkins!

Any helpful induction tips would be very welcome since I am rusty! I have the 2002 version of the book which is great but ain't nothing like hearing from all of you guys who are doing it now!

Welcome Katie -- glad you found your way back to this fantastic WOE. You know it works, you've done it before so you should have no problem this time.

There is a section for people who have done Atkins before that might interest you -- Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet and a great area with exercise and food challenges -- Challenges - Atkins Diet.

Something else that might be helpful is Linda's recipe site - lots of us swear by her recipes, there is a section for induction as well as OWL so make sure you're in the right area - Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Daily Menus. Or Shiela's recipes Sheila's Low Carb, Atkins & Induction Friendly *ORIGINAL* Recipes Page! and the Yahoo site also has recipes (the stuffed green peppers are delicious and I didn't really ever like them before) OurAtkinsRecipes : Messages : 150-183 of 183.

If you have questions just ask, the board is never closed and there is always someone here to help. If you need support, we're all here to help each other . Good luck with your journey!! Hope to see you around

Hi! Katie! We basically weigh the same. How tall are you? Good luck with this. Being this is your second time at it I'm sure you'll do well!

Welcome, Katie!

The best tip is to do it by the book.... and take advantage of all the wonderful recipes others have mentioned.

You have a good head start in that you are committed to exercising!
