Hi Tracey, I am relitively new too, only 3 weeks in. I can honestly say that this atkins or low carb diet is the way to go, I have 100lb to lose too and really feel bad about myslef. If you stick to the induction period for two weeks you'll feel much better and more able to think about making it a part of your life.

Be awaire that you might get withdrawl from things, like chocolate, sugar or carbs such as potatoes or rice, but these will go by the end of the first week and you'll no longer want these things. This is what happened to me anyway.

Make sure you keep in touch with everyone, this site is just fantastic!
