Atkins Phase: 14-day Induction

Default Day 1

Hello Everyone! I have been checking this out around here for a few days and decided that today is the day to start. A little about me... I am 27 and I cant stand the way I look and feel. I just got married June 2 and I am horrified by the pictures and I cry when I see them. I have no energy and I just want to roll myself into bed every day after work and sleep. I would appreciate any help and motivation.

Hey Riley! Welcome to the board. Congratulations on your marriage! I'm glad you decided to post. It's very theraputic. You will find tons of support and friendship around here. Please feel free to read around all the forums, particularly the rules of induction (can be found at 14 Day Induction Forum, and FAQ's). Feel free to ask questions. You will be feeling better in no time.

Welcome Riley!

You've taken that very important first step towards changing the way you look and feel. I'm still pretty new and have only lost 16 pounds so far, but I promise you I already feel so much better - there is just no comparison to how I felt before. And believe me, if I can do it I know you can too. I totally understand about looking at pictures and just crying because I've done that too - I just couldn't believe I'd let my weight get THAT far out of control before taking the control back.

So, congratulations on taking control! You CAN do this!

Best advice I've had so far: READ THE BOOK and drink lots and lots of water

Good luck to you and please post often - the support around here is AMAZING!

Wendy

Congratulations on deciding to take control of your life with Atkins, and joining the board! Welcome!

If you follow the plan properly, you'll soon find yourself feeling more energised and looking trimmer... once you see some results, you'll feel far better about yourself. We've all been where you are and believe me, it just takes that initial push to start the ball rolling... then you'll find it'll gather speed and momentum.

Looking forward to reading your successes and hearing that you're feeling happier and more positive. You can do this!
