Hello All! Well, I started Atkins 2 years ago before my wedding to lose a few pounds...needless to say it didn't last past the wedding...I did lose the needed pounds tho! So now, my wife and I had our first child...and as she gained during pregnancy...so did I! So we have both decided to stick to the Atkins program and make it part of our lifestyle. We both began Thursday (4 days ago). I have lost 6 pounds and she has lost 4. We take the GNC Ultra Mega Gold multi, Chromium 200mcg and plan on grabbing L-Glutimine.

Now for the questions:

1. During Induction...is Diet Soda that bad...I drink the water...but like to have one a day to treat my taste buds.
2. Have been experiencing cramps in my joints and fatigue in the afternoon...any ideas?
3. My wife's urine is flourescent yellow after her vitiamin...is that okay or an indication of something...

Any suggestions for some newbies..feel fre to let me know.

Thanks!
