Hi, you can call me buttmunch

Just start with going for your 64 ounces and build up from there over a couple of weeks. Dont try for a gallon right off the bat. Believe it or not, it gets easier and you will actually crave water soon.

Check your vegetable list...make sure if you are having green beans AND cabbage you are having 1/2 cup of each -- I didn't notice things like that when I first started and figured out I was eating too much of the 2nd list of vegetables most days!

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out!

Welcome !!! Great job on doing your homework before starting. Don't forget to do this for YOU (in addition to your daughter and IVF), and the rest should follow. Now your next homework is to dig into the forums on this board. There is a ton of info, and yes, the challenges are invaluable (for me at least). FYI - the challenges I have found are in two places (I almost missed the second). In the Atkins for Health, and in Miscellaneous Forums. Best wishes....
