I am a single mother of 2 and I also take care of 6 other childern during the week, so it doesn't leave much time for exercise. I have tried Adkins before, but I became very ill and had to put the diet on hold. I finally feel ready to give it another shot. The 1st time I lost 5lbs the first week of induction, so I know that it will work if I can just keep it up. Wish me luck and good luck to all.

Welcome!

If I may make a suggestion, start yourself a journal. Just go to the sticky at the top of the "introduce yourself" forum and follow the instructions. Write down what you eat each day so you can keep track...and others can help when you go astray

Also, try fitday.com....it has a great calculator that will tell you how your ratios of fat/protien/carbs are...as well as a calorie count and total carbs.

When you have time ( I know...I know...lol ) read some other journals...full of great info and ideas, and you meet some really fun people.

Drop by mine and say hi! I love visitors....and let me know when you get yours up and running!
