Default Hi

Hi Everyone, My name is Sandy and I am 37 years old. I started Atkins again last Monday. I am having a great week. For some reason this time I feel determined to stick with it. This week I had a change in dinner plans that almost threw me off...But asked the waitress could I substitute...Then Yesterday I went to an amusement park which usually does me in also. NOPE I stuck to plan too.

Tomorrow is Easter and I have that all worked out too.. I am taking an extra Broccoli Salad just for me

I have been lurking here all weekend and I LOVE all the inspirational stories and pictures that are on here.

I hope to be active in this board once I figure out how to do everything

Sandy

Default Re: Hi

Sandy! Your attitude is inspirational! Good for you! Welcome to ADBB and to your Atkins journey. It's good to hear that you find the board motivating. I'm sure you'll have huge success.

Don't worry, even though it might seem confusing at first, you'll soon "learn" the board and become familiar with how things work.

Keep posting and let us know how things pan out. We're behind ya!

Hi Sandy! I am new as well - start week 3 on Monday erm actually it might be week 4 - decided to stay on induction - It is pretty easy to stick to - hoping to lose a bit more quickly and then take it slowly after that - well they reckon the slower it comes off the more likely to stay off!

Gat the Atkins carb counter - great little book!

Hi Sandy!

Nice to have you here. You sound really motivated so this will definately work for you.

I found this thread very helpful. Actually I found it yesterday, being on board for already 12 days... As I am not sure if links will work in a thread, I copy it like this so you just have to look out for the titles and you will find your way.

Happy Easter and enjoy your time!

Hi, Sandy. It looks like we started within a week of each other. Your results so far are great. My first week back on was kind of hard, but the second one got a lot easier. Like UK Girl, I am going to stay on induction for a little while.

Keep up the great work!

Ann

Hi Ann... Yep that first week can be torture.. Especially when this past week different things happened.. But I talked myself out of every single one of them
