new and needing help!!

[zanezara]

Hi my name is Lodi and i am a foodlover..preferably sweets....

i am looking for support especially as i tend to fall off the wagon a bit TOO often.

This time HOWEVER i want it to be permanent...for life...and after having my second child 3 months ago, i have decided it is time to reclaim my body....

Please help!!!!!!!!

I think this board is an invaluable tool for inspiration and most of all help. I know one of the things that helped me decide to start on this way of eating was browsing through all the photos in the before and after forum. You look and the pictures and read the stories, and it's like, wow. Why can't I be one of these wonderful people that are changing their lives. Then it hit me...I CAN be one of those people!!!!

I know it's hard starting out, and maybe a bit scary, but you'll find nothing but support on these boards. So if there is something specific you need, don't be afraid to ask. There is always someone here to give advice, offer help, or just to listen.

Good Luck! And congrats on the little one!!!!

I get my ticker from tickerfactory.com. Once I have all my information in tickerfactory, I copy the bbcode. Then Go to your profile and edit the info. Paste the ticker information in the signature portion, and your ticker should show up. I hope this helps! I look forward to seeing your progress!!!

Ticker factory gives you an address, just copy and paste this into your signature in your profile section. I love my ticker! I'm updating mine NOW!
And about falling off the wagon, as long as you don't fall often or far, you'll still get where you are going. It was hard for me at first too, but it keeps getting easier.

Hi Lodi -
Are you breastfeeding your baby? If so you should only follow the maintenance part of the plan not induction until you stop breastfeeding.

If you aren't it's best to get all the information you can from the beginning -- by reading the 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) you will learn everything you need to do to make this time the final time.

Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and taking a multi-vitamin. If you haven't already, read the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR).

Eat the foods on the acceptable food list and find delicious recipes here: just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.
