Scared, Excited, and Hopeful

[mkliem]

Hi everyone! I am new to the board and new to Atkins. I was introduced to Atkins by my cousin that had such tremendous results with it. I am excited to get started I have been reading alot of the posts. I have also checked out the before/after pics and I can just say one thing "WOW!" great job to all of you.

I hope to be on that page to and showing others that this is something that can benefit everyone no matter how many other diets have failed. I have tried alot of different diets over the years and nothing has seem to really work. The Atkins approach has given me hope.

I have been eating alot of tuna, chicken, and salads. I drink 100oz of water a day and sometimes more. I run a mile and work out with weights during my lunch break at work. My husband and I run/walk 2miles and do alot of strength training every evening. I have thought about mixing my workouts with a kick boxing class 3 days a week. I will let you know if I do decide to that.

And most off, congratulations for making the start at Atkins WOL. This plan is absolutely awesome. It sounds like you've alreay started doing the right things...(kick boxing....cool....) is your husband doing the plan with you? I wish my wife would have done it with me....but still....Life is good!

Make sure you check out all the forums and recipes and good stuff. Once again, welcome on board and don't forget to ask questions or ask for help if you need it. There is a really really nice group of people who are always willing to help and answer questions.

Hi and welcome to the atkins boards!
I'm new to Atkins too...this is day 6 of induction and it's going great so far!
You certainly seem to have the exercise sorted and the Atkins WOE should have you shaped up in no time!
I agree the posts and before/during/after pics are such a massive inspiration to all of us!
