hey yo :)

Whats up all? I am doing the atkins. I am 31 years old, and I live PA. My name is Vincent...Recently I was on a similar "diet" for the past 8 months, it was a high protein, low carb one, but it wasnt cutting it. I did lose about 60 lbs, but it stopped there. Now I've jumped into the atkins program. I've just completed my first week of induction. Its good, after day 3, I noticed that I wasnt hungry, nor did I crave food like I normally did in the past, and If someone asked are you hungry or want something to eat, I was honestly able to say, "no, I'm not hungry". Anyhow, I am glad someone posted these forums on the main atkins site so I can find it. Have a great day!

Welcome Vincent! Mega congrats on your 60 lbs gone! Wow!

I love the fact that my hunger has gone bye-bye. I sometimes have to remind myself to eat!

Good luck, and see ya around the boards

Hello Vincent. It sure sounds like you're doing just fine so far. You're already used to low carbing, and half way done with induction, the rest should be a breeze for you. Best of luck and success!

[thexproject]

yeah. thanks everyone!

Catblue - Vince is fine

Yeah I've been low carbing, but not as like the atkins plan. Anyhow, I just got those sticks to see how far I am in ketosis (Sp?) and after 5 days, im in small. So I hope it increases....

Don't worry about the color on the ketosticks. Either your in ketosis, or you're not. Anything pinker than beige is good! Some say that when the color is darker purple, that's an indicator that you're not drinking enought water.
