Hey Everybody

[Outback Jess]

I'm Jess,
I am new to the site but not new to Atkins. This is my 3rd time on the diet, which I love, and boy does it make a huge difference in how I feel all the time.
I am on day 2 of induction, feeling the headache deal, feeling tired...I know this will end, I have been here before. Soon there will be more than enough energy to go round!
I have been writing down why I am doing this.
#1 to loose over 75 lbs for all the right reasons, health, esteem, confidence, health, and my daughter, who is fast following in my overweight, overeatting lifestyle.
#2 because I want to be responsible.
I will be here constantly emersing myself in the culture of the boards, and keeping close until the momentum builds later this week.

ok here is the first stupid question, once I write the thread, where do I go to read it. I went back to the initial page of introduce yourself didn't see it, so I rewrote a whole new one, with a different slant...and I have no idea were it went.

Welcome with open arms! I had the worst headaches for 4 days during induction.. today is the beginning of my 8th day. 9 lbs lost as of this morning.. and feeling fantastic. It's a lifestyle change and we all can do it when we are ready and determined!

Thanks Sara,
If I had not done Atkins before I would be doubtful. To anybody out there...the headaches, and blah feeling and the sense of being drained is all part of my body getting off white flours, sugars, beer, pastas, all the carbs and sugars... I have fed myself pretty consistently garbage for 2 straight years...
Soon I will feel great,
