My First day, to a new weigh!

[universaltravelr]

I just wanted to say hello to everyone. After looking through the forums and finally registering, I have decided to start the atkins way of life.
I have had the book for a few months now, although I still do not fully understand everything, I realize it is time for me to start.
After seeing how life changing this program has been for many of you, I hope to regain myself while losing the weight and becoming healthier.

I usualy only eat one meal a day, around 5 p.m. Most of the time its a huge portion of meat, veggies and bread.
Not to mention the endless array of suger-filled drinks.
The fast food way of life!!

Today is my first day, so far 3 huge glasses of water. Some sardines and a salad with olive oil.
I know I just started, but I am happy. This is the first step. Thank you for being here.

Welcome to ADBB! Glad to have you. My DH eats like you used to, one big meal in the evening. He also usually has a snack while we watch TV in bed before going to sleep. Its crazy, he is in great shape!! Some people have all the luck. Anyway, sorry to get off the subject.
I just finished my Induciton, and I lost 14 pounds. Please read all the stickys and do a clean Induction. You will be so glad you did. Good luck on your new WOL!

Hi and welcome! I think you'll find this a very supportive place to be. Remember to not go more than six waking hours without eating something. Follow the rules of induction, drink your water, exercise and take your supplements and you'll do fantastic. We're here to help!
