Determined to lose this weight once and for all I returned to Atkins. I am here for support. Thank you.

Hi Breeegal. Warm welcome aboard! Nice to have you with us.
You might like to see that there's a thyroid forum here at the ADBB: Thyroid - Atkins Diet It's always nice, I reckon, to hear from others with similar problems. Lots of tips to be had, hopefully.

You'll find the board a great place for support and inspiration. There's always someone around to lend a helping hand, if we get into difficulties.

A tip... If you post your introduction to a new thread (still in this forum), you'll get more personal replies.

Keep us posted on your progress... we're all in this together!

Here is a page of nothing but vegetable recipes -- check the cauliflower recipes -- I would have left long before if not for this page!!! It's a lifesaver.

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

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out! Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check 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) - eat enough vegetables - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily. Many of us use www.Fitday.com to track our food so we know what our carb totals are for the day. It's important you know what you are eating and how many carbs you are taking in each day.

Good luck to you

Thank you so much Carole. To be honest I was getting vegetable cravings too so this is just the resource I need to turn out some dishes to balance the protein. Your're right the whole water and green veg thing is vital to success with this. I think you would be pushed to keep going without really getting to grips with that. Well I did great things with cauliflower last weekend and I shall go through these links this weekend. Thanks v. much and good luck to you too - or is this a way of life to you now?
