Default Just introducing myself

Hi everyone. My name is Debs, I am a 41 yr old mum of 2 beautiful daughters. I am just starting out on the induction phase. and I am hoping to lose the 30lbs I gained after quitting smoking. I have tried other diets but I just end up feeling so hungry and deprived that I quit. Recently I conquered my caffiene addiction and feel that I just need to shift my bit of excess weight and to complete my healthier way of living. I've read my DANDR and it looks like my kinda food. So I'm starting today. Any support will be so appreciated.

Hiya Debs and welcome! Glad to have you with us!
You've done wonderfully well to give up smoking and caffeine so far. Now, after a few weeks on Atkins you'll be ultra healthy!!!

Kudos to you for reading the book. It really helps to understand how and why this way of eating works so well.

Post lots and let us know how you're getting along. We're with you 100%!

Hi Ink! Very impressive that you've read the book. DANDR is the best purchase we can make. Please let us know if you have questions, there's plenty of supportive people here that will be happy to guide you.

Welcome, Inky! I agree with everyone... kudos for reading the book as your first step. This is the only way of eating I've ever been successful losing weight with, and that's because of what you said... it's my kind of food! Even though I used to be a carb/sugar-a-holic, not having to give up the rich and creamy sauces, butter, and cheese really has made a difference in my staying power.

This board is a great resource -- I encourage you to visit often! Best of luck to you...
