Thumbs up Was a lurker

Now I have decided to join u. If u dont mind

I have been here lurking for two weeks. I just wanted to say that I love the support here and to be honest. All of u have helped me in some way.
THANK YOU

Today is my 8th day following Atkins. I was a nonbeliever and spent many mornings and hours working out and couldnt budge this weight.
I have only exercised twice my first week on atkins and have already lost 10lbs I am no longer a non believer and I thought this way of life would be difficult NOT.

I feel so in control and after a couple of days on the program I quickly gained my energy back.

Any tips u can give me ?


Thanks again and hopefully I didnt post in the wrong section

welcome! I suggest that you keep the New Diet Revolution handy, and read the board's sticky postings to get the 'insider scoop'. You can also use the search function to find threads on many induction questions and the responses.
You are making a great commitment to yourself for healthier living on this WOL!

Hi Dee,

I was a lurker for almost 2 months before posting for the first time this weekend.

Best tip this newbie can give you, is not look at the scale too much. Its hard not too, I still can't walk by it without stepping on for a peek

This diet does indeed work, and even when you're not losing lbs, you are losing inches

Good Luck
