Hello! Uhm, I'm new here, my name is Cherish
Nice to meet everyone ^^
Not really sure what to say here.. I'm 20 years old, i think i'm about 5"6 and i weigh about.. 150ish so says my evil scale :P hehe.
this is me when i was about... 135-140 cant really remember, as you can probably guess it was last october http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...40701_4792.jpg
~~~
I'm actually starting tomorrow, well, i guess today, its about 2am right now.. My terrible bad habit, i'll be trying to sleep before midnight from now on, by the way. My mom is actually going to be doing the diet with me also! So in the morning I'm making poached eggs, then we'll be throwing out aaaalll of our junk food, i will really miss the pancake mix (i want to make those 'sunday pancakes' in the recepie book, but i dont think we have anything here that would sell atkins pancake mix...). After breakfast we'll go get all our new food for the week, i made up a daily scedule till next tuesday, of things we'll eat for breakfast lunch and dinner~ Oh! does anyone know any good snacks? is a cup of cottage cheese ok at all? i wonder.. Aaaanyways~! I'm happy to be on board. and any advice would be greatly apreciated.
also, i never hear of 20 year olds going on the atkins diet :< am i the only one out there?

Welcome to the board, Cherish! Your picture looks great!

Do you have the 2002 edition of the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution? It explains fully how and why the diet works so it's a must read.

Cottage cheese isn't allowed on Induction but you can add it back in when you get to rung 2 Dairy.

Read the stickies at the top of the forums, drink lots of pure water, get some exercise and eat your veggies.

Good luck to you and your Mom and keep us posted on your progress!
