Hi everyone, I'm Liann

I'm on my 5th day so far, today I'm feeling a little better, but the beginning of the week i found very hard. I want to binge eat and give up, but I've lost 4lbs so far, so I'm going to stick at it. I havent studied the book properly (hardly read it) which is reall stupid of me I know, so I really shouldnt have started quite yet, but I woke up monday and thought, right i'm ready to lose weight so I started, I'm here and ready to learn, and as of today I'll be studying that book so I can't make mistakes!

Anyway's lovley to be here and lovey too meet you all.

Liann

Way to jump in with both feet first, Liann! Congrats on the 4 lbs so far! I can tell you that I still see something new that I overlooked or just didn't pay attention to every time I look something up in the book.

It just makes me so happy to hear you're excited to start your journey to a thinner, healthier you! Keep reading the book and be sure to check out the stickies in the induction forum for tips! Happy Low Carbing!

Thanks for the reply.

Even though it's a small ammount compared to how much I want to lose, I am pretty proud with myself, I feel more focused, I'm so impatient, the days are going too slow. I want it to be september and I want to be way slimmer. x

Welcome to ADBB!

I'll echo what Kisstuck said, (she always gives the best advice and encouragement!): read that book!

Like you, I just kind of scanned it the first time around. After flitting around the board, I saw that I had missed out on all kinds of stuff that was crucial to my success or at least, would have made it more enjoyable.

I wish you the best of luck and success!

Welcome Liann, glad to have you with us. The 1st week was the hardest for me, after that it has been mostly learning what works and what doesn't. Keep us posted on your progress.

Welcome to the board and well done for your success so far! I felt rough for the first 6 days but after that I just started to feel better and better and I'm sure you will too. It does get easier - especially if you are confident in what you're doing - which is where reading the book helps so much

Good luck and let us all know how it goes.

Hi Liann! Big welcome to the board! Any loss is terrific, so I must say that you're doing terrifically! Take it one day at a time. If you feel the urge to splurge, come to the board, there'll be plenty of people to talk you down! We're here for ya!
