Talking Hi! Atkin's Virgin here.

Hi everyone!
I have been reading the boards for a while, and have finally got enough courage to post and say hello! You all seem very supportive and we all share the same goal, so I feel that I want to introduce myself!
I'm Pearl, and I have just gotten through a week of induction, so will begin my next week tomorrow. It's been hard, with the mother of all headaches, but I feel a lot less bloated and I have so much more energy.
My goal is to lose 12 pounds (cw 124, gw, 112).
I definitely feel that the atkins diet is something I will be following for my life, as I just feel so much healthier than when I was eating just fruit and carbs.
Anyway, see you around the boards!

Hi Pearl! I'm so happy you finally posted! No need to have courage to come to this board, just a willingness to be here!

Great news about 1 week of induction down! I hope, since you don't have all that much to lose, that you will move right up to OWL after induction! This will re-train you to eat from every food group, but low carbing all the way!

I will see you around the boards!

Hey there Pearl... welcome! Glad you joined us. Sorry to hear you had a bout of the induction flu. That passes quickly and you'll soon be feeling awesome.

Very good to hear that you think you're changing your style of eating rather than considering Atkins just a quick weight loss diet. Permanence is the road to success!

Ditto what Silly said about your move to OWL. It takes some time to climb the rungs so, with relatively little to lose you'd be better off starting OWL right after induction.

Happy low carbing!
