Hi I'm Cindi

[cis57]

I'm not new to Atkins but I quit for a few months cuz I made some life changes. Change completed and I'm back ready to get the rest of this weight off. I am at the same weight I was when I stopped so at least I don't have to start all over again but I kick myself when I think I could be closer to my goal had I stuck to it.

I'm really excited to get started and today is day 1. I will spend time this weekend reading posts, success stories and look at the challenges I want to join. The company I work for gave us a free membership to Gold's gym several weeks ago........I've only gone one time so far, so that is on the list of personal challenges, to go at least 3 times a week. Another is to do a clean 2 week induction-got to get rid of the toxins I've been putting in my body lately!

Looking forward to the support here and getting to know everyone!

Cindi

Hey Cindi. Welcome back. Sounds like you have a plan and are ready to go!

Hey Cindi - it's so good to see/hear/read ?? you I'm really glad you came back. I know how much you like this WOE. How exciting that you have the free gym membership, that's so cool - good company. My company offers different types of classes, but usually at a small cost. I haven't been brave enough to do Yoga out in our courtyard yet - not sure I ever will, but it' s nice that they offer.

This forum is great. I've really enjoyed my time here. I love the challenges - I exercise almost every morning now - I'm still amazed.

I'm glad to hear your life has settled - hugs to you and your family

Welcome to the Atkins Board Cindi.

I hope you already have the 2002 DANDR book and have read it, it is the edition we follow on this site. If not it's worth a few dollars to purchase. Get enough pure water in daily (64oz is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin.

Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check the acceptable food list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)(What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html) - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily. The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out!
