Taking the first step today.....38 years old with wife and three kids.......
I have a plan to drop 100-150lbs ????

Big goals just take big motivation!.. If you haven't read the book yet, get a copy of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution 2002 and read it!
Lots of good information and inspirational people on this site, I'm learning new stuff all the time.

You can do this!

welcome - congrats for making this step. Follow the plan and you will succeed. There is a group on this forum called the Century Club [lost 100+] - go and read their stories - obviously it can be done!

good luck

Welcome. Nice decision to take. How has your day been?

[sham]

Welcome to you.Your goal is very achievable but it all depends on you and your willpower because if you stay focused and follow the diet staying cheat free you can achieve success.It took me a year to lose 100lbs so if I can do it so can you.You maybe have ups and downs I did too but always get back on plan.All the best.

Thanks for the feed back everyone . I really like the small goals...Today was my first day on atkins and I purchased the book today as well. I never realized how much bread I was eating untill ADKINS.

ATKINS will cure your bread habit but be prepared the first three or four days you will be craving those carbs. Then ketosis will kick in, you will feel better and most folks get a boost of energy. Do read the book. It will explain everything and save you making costly mistakes.

Just to reinforce THE BOOK. I didn't read it prior to starting, and I regret that now. Currently I'm in a challenge to read the book and I'm learning so much more. Take the time, it is so worth it!

I too am 38 with three children. (Although my oldest is married now) How are you doing? Today is day 9 for me, I plan to stay on induction longer than 14 days. Hoping to add in some exercise soon. Just wanted to see how you were doing.

OK ....So I thought I was so ready and had a great first day and at the end of day two I see pie in my refrigerator....I had a slice and feel horable ...so I will start all over tommorow Day 1.....I even went and purchased the foods I needed and had a steak for lunch.....??????
