2x around

[Laurajean]

Well I've tried it before but this time is for keeps.

I'm smelling the roses this time and fully enjoying the control over what I eat and the extra energy. I am also hard core on excercising, which i did not do the last time around, its so much easier on low carb . I have kind of a long way to go but my pants are already much looser (its been over 2 wks). I'm going to stay in induction for awhile yet as I cannot risk dealing with carb cravings, and like I said I have a long way to go. Does anyone know of local area atkins clubs or anything? Just wondering (I'm from MN), I could use some support. Luckly I have a roommate that is doing it with me now.

P.S. I left my boyfriend as of 1/17 so I'm going through a lot of changes for the better.

Welcome to the board Laurajean!
I'm happy to see you here. Congratulations on your losses. If you have a difficult time with sweet cravings, buy some L-Glutamine if you havn't already. It will take the cravings away.
That's great that you have a roommate doing this with you. That will be a great support for you as well.
Post often, make lots of friends, We have a great group of people here that will answer questions along your way. Best of health and lite to you and yours.
Sincerely, Sherri

Warm welcome aboard Laurajean! Good to have you with us.
How cool that you have someone to do Atkins with. It makes a huge difference if you can share the ups and downs. You'll be able to do that here on ADBB too. Most people find the board a source of great support and inspiration.

Good news on your pants feeling looser! You're moving in the right direction.

Welcome Laurajean...I have only been here for a few weeks, and I can tell you this board is great....It really helps me to know that I am going through this with so many others, and I dont feel alone in this fight!!!

My best advice to you is read, read, read...there is soooo much information & help here.
Oh and Join some of the exercize challenges...they really help keep you accountable.

I wish you the best!!! Although I know if you follow the program you dont need my wishes!!!
