Default Just starting out...

Hey everyone,

I've wandered through the forums for a little while now, but just finally decided to introduce myself. My name is Beau, I'm 21 years old, married with two kids now.

I did a little test run on Atkins for a month from October 20th to Thanksgiving Day. I lost 30 lbs in that span, so after splurging for a day on Thansgiving (which was really not as satisfying as I thought it would be) I've decided to go on Atkins for good.

I was very impressed with how much I lost after a month, so I'm rereading the book and starting fresh. I've got my book in hand, and just signed up at the gym.

Wish me luck!

Starting Weight : 270 lbs.
Current Weight: 240 lbs.
Goal: 200 lbs.

Welcome to the board Beau!

I know what you mean about those carbs not being as satisfying as you thought they would be!! Great work so far!

Hi Beau! Welcome to the board. I don't think we need to "wish you luck" at all. Sounds to me like you're doing a fine job at losing weight! Keep on going!

Hello,

Welcome to the board - there are lots of great ideas for exercise that can work at the gym in the challenges section, so worth a look.

Well done on the loss so far, very impressive
