Hi- I'm new!

[angielovesatkins]

Hi all fellow Atkins followers! I jsut started induction this morning and am so excited to finally have a grasp on my eating habits. I know what you are thinking..."She has jsut started." But I know I can do this since we always go out to eat after church and I always eat something carby...ALWAYS.

But today I had steak and eggs and black coffee. If I can avoid the junk on a Sunday after church then I know I can do it every single day!

A little about me, I am a work at home mom to 3 kids, ages 13, 11, and 9. I am a project manager, graphic deisigner and marketer for a company that designs and distributes e-newsletters and website for the green industry(garden centers, etc.) I love my job but since I have started working from home I have really let myself go and really want to get my self in shape! I am a beaded jewelry deisgner and also love to paint, draw and read.

I look forward to getting to know some great people here.

Hello there Angie. Welcome to ADBB! I'm sure you'll find that there's plenty of support, inspiration and friendship to be had here. Congrats on avoiding the Sunday after church carby stuff and going for steak and eggs instead! You're off to a good start.

Take a tour around the board and see all that's going on. You can find recipes, start a journal, join an exercise challenge, chit chat a bit.... all fun and motivating.

Happy losing!

Thanks for the welcome!

I am actually not new to the Atkins WOE, I followed Atkins in 2002 and lost 60 pounds. I have gained back 25 of that. So all in all I know it is not all steak and eggs but truth be told I am not huge veggie fan, never have been. I did have a huige salad for dinner last night and will eat them from time to time, brocolli and cauliflower are about the only other veggies I will eat. I have veggie moods LOL.
