G'day all!

Hi everyone! My name's Trisha and I'm new to Atkins. I started the induction phase this past Sunday. So far so good I won't get on the scale until the 2wk phase is up. I've been lurking on the message boards and trying to get as much info as I can before embarking on this WOE. I've seen amazing results on this site and I hope to also see them for me. Wish me luck!

Hi there Trisha and welcome! Glad you came by and decided to post.

You'll get lots of info by reading the stickies in the various diet phase forums and by reading the FAQs. Don't let that put you off getting a hold of a copy of the book though. That is a mine of knowledge and explains everything in great detail. The copy you want is: Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002 edition)

Look forward to following your successes here on the board! Happy losing!

Hi Trisha! Very impressive that you don't want to weigh until your induction period is up! I'm guessing you are in for a pleasant surprise! Welcome to the board.

Hi, Trisha ~ I'm a newbie, too, started Monday, so I am right where you are, step for step ('cept one day behind )

(psst: I'm not going anywhere near my scale until the 2 wks is up,too!)

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome! The foods I'm eating are very filling and I have no complaints. I don't feel like I'm on a diet It's fantastic. I do feel bloated though. I had the headaches but they're gone now. I'm going to wait until Sept 9 to weigh myself (end of two week induction.) How do I know if the diet is going well in the meantime? Other than following the meal plan. EmDee all the best to you sweetie! And thank you all again for the support and encouragement.
