Hello people, my names Ivy.. ::big wave::

I have a couple of really big events coming up in April... I was determined to loose some weight...I was convinced by a neighbor to try "Atkins"...Not one to go into anything lightly lol...I bought Atkins book as well as Suzanne Sommers book...Iv'e also been cruising both sites...The more I researched the more "loosing weight" FAST..Became less important...As I sensed this could become a life style change that I could handle and feel good about.....Not to mention my hubby has been on the band wagon with me since day one (A total surprise) lol

My biggest problem so far has been keeping my backside outta the recipes..lol I love to cook and have already started collecting a ton of recipes (complete with fancy binder lol)....

I've been on induction for 2 1/2 weeks... The first 2 weeks I played with the same darn pound repeatedly..gain it, lose it, gain it, lose it grrrr .....Tried desperately not to take it to heart... I've read where so many of you have said to one newbie or another that each person is different blah blah blah... Well, today I went to work out...Hopped on the scales and had lost 3lbs...Crossing fingers that this is not some trick of the water retention fairy! heheee

Well, I'm off to the recipe forum to see if someone can tell me how to prepare and eat an artichoke/eggplant lmao..Have a good one ::smile::
