Newbie here...

Hey there,

I'm not sure what to say here, however i'll quickly introduce myself. I'm yvonne [as my username suggests!], from Ireland.

I'm 5'0 [approx 153cm] and on tuesday past [26th August '08] i weighed a whopping 12st 9lbs [177lbs]. Yikes! I want to get to around 9st initially, to be in a healthy weight range. On tuesday and wednesday i started into my dieting, initially following WW point methods, but i switched to Atkins yesterday [thursday], so i'm now coming to the end of my 2nd day on Atkins. So far, so good. I haven't felt deprived of old favourite foods, or had any major carb withdrawal symptons. However, i did feel extremely zapped of energy, up until about 4pm today, but after that i was okay.

Looking forward to getting into ketosis, hopefully i'll be in it tomorrow, or sunday. Also looking foward to getting to know you all better.

Hi, Yvonne

Welcome to ADBB!

Since you are new to Atkins, I just want to make sure that you read the "sticky" at the top of this forum. It's got lots of good info in it, and hopefully will help you with your journey. Here is the link: If you are NEW, READ THIS!

Good luck to you, and post often.
