Hi All
Im 29 a mother of 2 and ive been strugling to take off th 50 pounds i gained with both my kids. Im excited and nervous but this time im really ready. I beleive the hardest part will be quitting my coffee in the am

Giving up coffee is a tough one. I have to admit I still have a cup in the a.m. but have switched to decaf the rest of the day. If you haven't yet read the book, it is a tremendous help. Feel free to ask questions and be sure to visit frequently. It helps keep you motivated.

Welcome aboard!

People are so nice and helpful here. And I agree, giving up coffee is hard!

thanks to all i am starting it today i had a good breakfast i just have a slight headache because of no cofee but im trying not to think about it.

The headache will pass in a couple days (trust me - been there) You can take Tylenol or something like that to help relieve it. Don't take Excedrin or other medicines that contain caffeine tho - they'll help the headache, but you prob would have enjoyed the coffee more

Congrats on starting - come back here for inspiration/motivation whenever you need it

Good luck with the diet soon hopefully your coffee cravings will go!

My wife is also 50 pounds overweight from kids, and I am hoping I will show her Atkins works on my body so she will use it as well.

Success!

stay away from processed foods (like shakes and bars) - eat a variety of foods, get your fats, carbs and protein in daily, drink plenty of pure water (nothing added), take your supplements and exercise...it's really that easy.
