Hi all

[davebrighton]

Just into my first week of induction and loving it so far,apart from aching legs (is this normal)
I did atkins about 2 yrs ago and lost 2 stone so I know it works.

My goal is to visit the States next year and
1. to be able to fit in a normal size airline seat
2. To be able to take my shirt and go swimming and be proud
3. get back the energy i once had
4. to be able to go clothes shopping and buy anything

Its good to know you guys are here to help me when I start to doubt my willpower

Hi, Dave

Welcome to ADBB!

I love the goals that you have set, and am positive that you will be able to achieve them. About the aching legs - you may be low in potassium. Do you take vitamins/supplements? They're important!

I'm very glad to hear that you are loving Atkins so far - yay! There really is no better way to get healthy and lose weight. Love that!

There is a ton of information and motivation available here. Make sure to take some time and explore all that the board has to offer. Here are a few links to get you started, in case you haven't found these places yet. The last one is to a website that a lot of us use for recipes.
