Hi all !!

[ImREADYImREADY]

Hi, I came across this board trying to look up information on the induction phase of Atkins. This is not my first go around with Atkins, I have done this diet several times over the past few years. I lost 57lbs in 2007 when I did the diet for One year. I needed to lose weight before I headed of to the Police Academy. I went from 221lbs to 164lbs. The weight has slowley creeped back on and I now weigh 183lbs.

I am a mother of 4, a Wife, and a Police Officer, Desperate to lose some weight and be happy with the way I look.

Thanks for Reading!

Welcome aboard! You sound like a very busy person and have an active lifestyle which is good for someone trying to lose weight. Good luck this time around.

Check out the 'Second Time Around Club' , (STACers) for all of us who have done Atkins before.

Welcome and congratulations on making the commitment to eat healthy again.

This was my 2nd time around too. I noticed this time that the last time I tried to eat that way...I really didn't understand how it really should be done because of the fact that I didn't read the entire book like I should have. I simply went to the different sections that I thought were relevant and skipped over some very important information.

If you haven't done so already, pick up a copy of the book and read it....it will help you a great deal!

Come here lots and read as much as you can and post as much as you would like. Everyone on this forum is incredibly supportive and very understanding!

Once again, congratulations! Drink lots of water each day and try to add some form of exercise to your daily routine.

Looking forward to reading more of your posts and hearing about how things are going for you.

All the best!
Sarina
