I'm new

[MySexyLC]

Hello Everyone! I'm new. This is my second time around on atkins. I did it a few years ago and had excellent results. Unfortunately I went back to some terrible eating habits You know, doritos and little debbies. Anyway, I gained the weight back. I'm ready to get my body back and feel better! Today starts my first day of induction. I'm starting at 179.8lbs. Wish me well!!!!

good luck -- we follow the 2002 Drr Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) edition if you don't have a copy you should get one so you understand the plan and can make choices for a long time commitment instead of until the doritos and little debbies get in the way again...lol

Drink 64 ounces of pure water daily (nothing added) - exercise starting today -- it's not an option, it's mandatory! Check these lnks for extra help. Good luck

Here is a thread that will give you loads of information to be able to follow the plan correctly. (BEFORE you begin the Atkins Nutritional Approach...)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...-approach.html (BEFORE you begin the Atkins Nutritional Approach...)

Hello Mysexy and welcome to ADBB.

[MySexyLC]

Thanks Imagood1. I have the book and I'm sure I'll be referring to it quite often. Thanks for the links! I agree, the first time around I exercised a minimum of 45min/daily and the results were amazing. Thanks for your good advice!

Chinadoll thanks for welcoming me!

awww, this is part of Atkins...no energy, weakness...it's called the "Atkins Flu" and is how you know you're going into Keotsis so congrats - that's what you want!! It won't last forever, only a few days then you'll feel wonderful and full of energy.


Congrats on your 2 days with no cheats & lots of water....keep it up!
