New Atkins-er

[Tiggy_Too]

Hi everyone! I am brand new to Atkins and started yesterday. I am impressed when I looked at everyone's success and my breath is taken from me at the before and after pictures! How much healthier, younger and happier everyone looks in those. I hope to mirror their successes with everyone's help and support.

time and patience ... .good luck!

Thanks! I am on the newbie high right now

I love newbie high! It's really not tough to do this, the food is fantastic and you feel so good so quickly. I could tell in my stomach within the first week. I was on two different forums before I ended up here and I'm so glad I found it...its a great forum. I love the challenges! Since I joined ADBB I took off 10 lbs that didn't seem to want to leave me. Chat often, the forum will keep you motivated!

Welcome to the Atkins Board Tiggy.


I'm glad you decided to join us and posted to introduce yourself. Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise and start take 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 (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html and find wonderful recipes here: just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with. Vary your meals so you don't get tired of eating the same thing over and over -- we have too many choices for that to happen.

barrnone - I am so happy I found this board as soon as I started. I think it will really help.

imagood1 - Thank you for those words of wisdom and rules. I am working on the water and drank a lot more today than yesterday so I am making progress. I am taking a multivitamin per your suggestion and as far as reading the book -- I bought the wrong one I bought the Essentials book but never fear, I have ordered the correct one off Amazon and should be here next week. In the meantime, I am checking out the board and the lists to make sure I stay on track and pushing the water. Thanks again!!
