Another newbie

[Amy35]

Hi everyone I'm brand new to the forums and looking forward to getting to know everyone and dropping some extra pounds along the way I've been reading the forum for the last day or two as well as reading DANDR, and I'm really feeling good and ready to get into better shape (preferably BEFORE the summer gets here!). Today is day 1 of induction for me. Thanks for having me

Hello there Amy! Welcome to ADBB! You've found the absolute right place for friendly low carb advice, support and inspiration. We're very glad you're with us.

It's cool that you're reading the book. Soooo important to understand how this diet works.

Take a tour round the board and you'll see there's plenty going on. YOu could start a journal, or join an exercise challenge...both fun and very motivating.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We've all been at the beginning and know how it feels... and we're happy to help out where we can.

Happy Atkineering!

Hey there Amy, you will loose weight having to come back in here and say "hi" to the next wave of welcomers...
Sounds like you are off and running. I tell my daughter all the time, "Knowledge is power". You are going to take some powerful knowlege with the DANDR book and these boards, use that power to propel you into ketosis, where you will finded dimished appetite, reduced cravings and a new level of energy to go about exercise, drinkin the water and eating fantastic...It's like a renewal!

[Amy35]

*lol* I know what you mean outback jess. Everyone here is SO friendly and helpful. I've already had a few questions and it sure didn't take long to get them answered. I'm looking forward to the day once I can come in and coach the newbies and give them encouragement through my successes. Today is Day 3 and I'm feeling GREAT! I've had no cravings, I'm completely satisfied with the foods I'm eating and even the water is going down much easier than I expected. I can't wait until my first weigh in, but I'm going to wait at least until I get my first week in.

Thank you all for your help and encouragement!
