New Gal Here- 14 Day Induction Starting 12-16-08

[PerfectSize6]

Hello Fellow Low Carbin People!

I'm a newbie to this forum, but not to Atkins.

I joined this forum because of the fact that people here are specifically doing low carb, and I get tired of other forums trying to tell me what's good for me and what isn't.

Finally a place were people understand me!

Several years ago, in 2004, I was given the Atkins book by a friend. I couldn't put the book down and learned, by the way I was eating, that I was a perfect fat making machine.

I started induction, and within 5 months went from 175 down to 140 pounds. My friend and family were shocked!! So was I.

Long story short, I went off to college, didn't deal well with managing my stress, and went back to my old ways of eating bad carbs and a lot of them.

I've been trying different means of losing weight, but not getting the results I did while on Atkins.

I am hoping to make it on Induction for the next 3 months, and then will reassess the situation.

Induction Phase

I look forward to learning recipes on meeting new friends on here.

I tried to post in someone's thread and got a message that my post needed to be approved by a moderator first?

Can someone tell me if this is temporary? Just seems kind of wack if that's the case.

I had to wait 24 hours just to post a thread from when I signed up.

I'm impatient!! Can someone shed light on the process in here?

Hello Size 6!
I just started on the 15th so we can be induction buddies. You seemed to have done great your first time around. So, I am sure you'll do it again. I haven't weighed myself since I stared, but here's to hoping...

I started a journal in journal chats, so I won't be posting much in this thread anymore.
