Smile New Here Too

Hello. Im new here. My name is Gwen. I have tried the SB WOE for the past two weeks and was having some trouble with it so I decided to switch to Atkins. I have several friends who have done Atkins and had great success so I have decided to jump on the band wagon. The past two days while I was waiting to get my membership here approved i kinda fell off the bandwagon. Those Fruity Pebbles kept calling me and I caved in. But I have gotten them out of the house and am ready to begin with a clean start today.
I probly will have quite a few questions along the way. I have read the book but still have some confusion concerning the net carbs but sure Ill learn along the way.

Hi Gwen,
Welcome!!
If you are up to it you could sign up for some of the exercise challenges that is starting now August 1st - or the water challenge. But getting the eating under control is the most important part of the induction.

LOL, Trish! Wow, someone else has a problem with the fruity pebbles?? They ALMOST made me cave, but I resisted. Welcome to the board Gwen! You can do it, girl! But take my advice, ... get RID of the FP's! They are the devil. *hahaha*
