Smile I am new and will start induction in two days

Hi all.

I am new to posting. I just stumbled upon this site and was reading how many other people are just like me. Some starting induction seeking support also.

I was going through my old books and pulled out Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution that I bought back in '98 and realized how long it has been since I have been trying to lose my weight. Way too long.

I am sincere this time and I feel with the support from others on this site, and at home too, that I will be successful.

I look forward in reading about everybody else having success (and, ouch, failures, too) to help me get through this.

Thanks to all and I wish everybody the best of luck sincerely.

Like you I planned ahead and got my mind right before starting.I was prepared for the shock of a drastic change.I can actually say it has been very enjoyable so far.No boredom .I read the book years ago but it has been long lost.With the internet it is very easy to google why?Just remember 2-3 lbs a week loss is very good.You can do this.

Welcome, Anita! Glad you joined us!

As Susan said, you will benefit greatly by getting the updated book. There's a lot of new, helpful information in it, and it's the "bible" on this board.

I found mine in Walmart, but here's a link if you'd like to order it online.
Amazon.com: Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution: Robert C. Atkins: Books
