Smile Wanted to say Hello!!!

Hello, everyone!!!
I have started a journal and started induction on Friday morn bright and not so early.
I am soo happy to have found this board. I have thought about trying to lose weight a few times and have never really done anything about it. (well, except once.. lost 20 pounds doing a program called Dr.'s quick weight loss.. ironically a lot like atkins, in 1994 but got pregnant with my second son, so had to stop).
Anyway, wanted to thank eveyrone for their dedication to this site. Wow, I am soo impressed and finding, so far, no problems with induction. I have had to eat out 4 times since starting (no, that's not normal) and have not an urge for all the junk everyone else ate and was able to stick with it. I hope I am here until I reach what I want my goal to be (Not sure quite yet, but will figure it out).

Hello there 3xmom and a warm welcome to you! Really pleased you found your way to the ADBB board, where you'll find friendship, support and inspiration for sure!

Sounds like you're off to a flying start and have a great positive attitude.... that helps tremendously, you'll find.
I don't know if you've read DANDR yet, but if not then I'd strongly suggest you get a copy of the 2002 edition which is the last one Dr. A wrote in its entirety and is the one this board goes by.

Do keep us posted on your progress. We're all here to back you up and love to read success stories... or to help out with any difficulties!

Happy Atkineering!

Welcome to the board , your journal will help you greatly. I never had one before but now I feel like it keeps me accountable knowing people are reading. It's mostly ramblings, but I keep it honest and try to post often. Way to go on resisting temptation! You can do it!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes!!
I was not on yesterday as I felt horrible... Don't know if it was "induction flu" or just normal horribleness. I am glad I found this place. It is very inspiring!!

Yes... very likely a spot of induction flu. Many of us get that, but don't worry, it passes quite soon... a few days at the outset. Hang in there, you'll soon be feeling choc a bloc full of energy!
