Hello

[fowlergirl]

Hello,

I am also a newbie to the Atkins way of life. I am a stay at home Mom and each time I got pregnant, I kept a lot of the weight I had gained. I am 5' 5" and I currently weigh 200 lbs. This is my second week of induction. In my first week I lost 6.5 lbs. I am also grateful to the kind person who put this web site on the main Atkins site. I look forward to getting to know you guys and sharing my weight loss journey with you.

Hey there Fowlergirl... welcome to Atkins and the ADBB! You're in the absolute right place for support and inspiration!

I know how distressing it is to see yourself "growing" after each pregnancy. But now you'll be able to get back in shape pretty soon. We'll help you! Congrats on your first week's losses. Cool!

Roam around, make pals and join any challenges or board activities that take your fancy. Everything helps.

Happy Atkineering!

Thanks Sally for the support and the welcome.

Welcome, Fowlergirl! I feel your pain But you are doing *great* with your loss so far--I only lost that much after 2 weeks of induction.

I can't recommend joining challenges enough! I jumped right into 2 of them and it really, really is helping me to be accountable and stay on track.

Good luck!!!

Hi fowler girl! Welcome to the board! There's lots of others losing baby fat around here! Congratulations on your pounds lost so far. Keep us posted as to your progress!

Hi! I was the same height and about the same weight as you when I started Atkins. Six months later, 57 pounds are gone! This WOE works and the support from this board really helps you stay with it if you want to.

Good luck, congratulations on your kids and happy low carbing!

Thank you all for making me feel welcome and for your encouragement!
