New Atkins Fan!!!!!!!

[tml1979]

Hello all!!! I read the book cover to cover and started last sunday. WOW can I tell you how different my body feels in just a week. I can't believe the results. I feel better and kicked my coffee habit. I had to step on the scale this morning (I couldn't help myself) I lost 10 pounds this week!!!!! I usually try to stay clear of the scale this early on in a diet because I don't see much of a difference in the numbers. I almost fell off!!! I could feel that my jeans were not as tight so I figured it would be ok to take a look. Am I glad I did. My starting weight was 226 now 216. OMG! I went out and got some vitamins that are as close as I could find to Basic #3 and a bottle of fish borage and flaxseed oil capsules. I have been taking them every day as well as drinking all my water. I have done weight watchers many times over the years and it just never stuck. I am super glad that I found this website. I also want to add that I tried the mock danish this morning. It was fantastic...as I went in for the first bite I wasn't expecting it to be good and it was great! I did try the truffle recipe I think I did something wrong because they didn't taste good at all.
Have a great day! I hope i posted this the right way. Alsocan someone please tell me how to post my picture I really can't figure it out I tried....I can usualy figure this stuff out on my own but I am stuck THANKS!

Welcome aboard, TML1979!!! This is a great place to begin your journey. There is a wealth of support and resources here. As for your pic posting questions; I believe if you check in the section on the main page titled "Testing and Technical Questions" in the Miscellaneous Forum (towards the bottom of the page) there is information and support for that. Again, welcome aboard!!!!

Congratulations on your first week ~ WOW TEN POUNDS! That is awesome! My first week ends tomorrow... i wish i could see that kind of change. Keep up the great work!

Welcome, what a great post!!!!! Glad you found us and joined. Just make sure those Multis don't have iron. Keep those tight jeans cause sometimes when the pounds don't seem to be melting off, the inches are. Join the Exercise Challenge and the Cheat Free Challenge and start a Journal. That will keep you to busy to eat. LOL

Good job! If you have not already measured yourself do so and keep track of inches too! I have learned sometimes muscle will displace fat so no loss but I noticed the loose clothing. I lost 17" my first week from my body and that is a big motivational boost Best of success on future weight loss!
