Hello All

[lookinFineIn09]

Hello all, Hubby and I are starting the diet Saturday! Neither one of us have ever really dieted, but I never really FELT unhealthy like this.
In October my hubby was laid off and sat here at the home with me for the last 3 months....as a result we have gained a few pounds...Me, a bit more!
This has to end, I am now in the obese category and after lookin at all the Christmas pictures I am doing something.
I was only going to lurk around these boards but I think I need to be accountable and posting publicly will help. I am not ready to post a picture yet, maybe after induction

I am 5 foot 1 inch, starting weight I'm saying 155 (153-156) This is my top weight. Besides baby weight from preg. That is so hard to say outloud!
My first goal, I am not sure about a weight, but would like to be comfortable in something nice on Valentines Day
That is 5 weeks away...is 140 unrealistic?
Any hints on a Pizza recipe? This is my worst enemy.

Thank you all in advance for any advice and/or support!
I am kind of new to message boards....
Now off to figure out a ticker for my siggy....

Welcome Lookinfinein09 (cool nic!!) to both you and your hub! Nice that you decided not to lurk but to post along with us all!
It's really good that you have the company of your hub for your Atkins journey. You'll be able to give each other encouragement and support!

Here's a cool link to a recipe site. I can't actually remember if there's a pizza recipe on there, but am pretty sure there is. It might not be induction friendly though (induction friendly recipes on that site are marked with an asterisk)
Linda’s low carb recipes:

You could also try asking in the induction forum... there are several pizza recipes going around.

Happy losing to you both!
