Hi Val,

Just thought I would drop by an offer some encouragement.

Induction is the really horrible part of this WOE but it is worth it. The buzz you get when your clothes start to feel looser, the increased amount of energy, the compliments from workmates.All these things make it worthwhile.

When I started Atkins in January I felt totally disgusted with myself. I had terrible depression,mood swings and I would get kids shouting abuse at me in the street or on the bus.That was the very catalyst I needed. I knew I had to do something or I wouldn't be around to see my kids achievements in life.

Now eight months on I have lost 106 pounds. Life is great. Please believe me when I say that this works. I have tried everything else under the sun and this tops the lot by a long way.

These forums are the best place to come for support. Eveyone is in the same boat. You have got to want to lose the weight.I know you can do it.

Keep us updated on your progress and stick with it.

Regards

Kenny
