Wavin' and sayin hi!

Hi Everyone

I just found this site earlier today, and spent some time reading and checking out the threads....... looks like alot of great people that really are involved! Just what I need

I've done all my homework and have a pretty good grasp on things now.

I began induction 2 weeks ago (tomorrow is my official 2 week weigh in and measuments) so cross your fingers (and toes) for me!! I lost 8.2 lbs my first week, guessing this week will have slowed a bit, but, I'm hoping for a good start to my next week.

I plan to continue on induction for a while, I have alot of weight to lose! I've set my goals in stages though, so I don't end up overwhelmed.

My initial goals are every 10 lbs and officially my first 43 lbs lost. That will bring me under 300 lbs for the first time in many many years!

I'm really looking forward to meetin ya'll and hopefully finding a few good friends to head through this journey with and begin my new life. People to help motivate and some that can kick me in the ''''''' when I need it!!

Have a great night !

Erin

Its great that you are setting up small goals for yourself. I am taking it 10lbs at a time myself with the first big goal to get under 200. Otherwise it is too overwhelming.

Looking forward to seeing you post about your wonderful results with atkins.

Hello Erin! Warm welcome to you. Nice that you found us and decided to do Atkins with us all.
I was going to suggest you join the No Scale challenge, but I see you've already joined! That's fantastic!
You might like to take your measurements first as often we can lose inches before pounds and it's cool to keep a record of you body as it gets trimmer.
Happy losing!

I will definately be joining in on the challenges going on.

Today marked my finish of my 2 week induction and I'm feeling pretty good

I plan to stick with induction for awhile since I have alot of weight to lose yet, but so far, so good!

11.8 lbs gone so far

I'll definately weigh and take measurments before beginnin the 2 week challenge to stay off the scale! Great advise!

Thanks again to ya'll!

Wow... you're off to a great start! Good going!
