Many Thanks to all you Atkids!!
Happy Friday everyone!!
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who posts on this forum. Today is my 14th day of Induction doing Atkins for the very first time. I haven't posted before because luckily I was able to find many threads with my exact questions and concerns answered in the most compassionate, encouraging manner. You are all wonderful!
I imagine I should be posting this under Introductions or something, but I really did want everyone here to know how much you've helped me embrace this plan these past 14 days.
I lost 5.5 lbs. the first week; TOM arrived in the middle of my 2nd week, so I don't think I want to weigh again for a few more days -- otherwise, I just know I'll be disappointed in what I see. It's driving me nuts waiting to see my 2-week total though!
I can't believe how fantastic I feel and even more, the foods I'm able to eat on Atkins are a dream come true. I am loving my daily taco salad, complete with cheddar cheese, avocado and sour cream!!! As a former low-fat dieter, I still can't believe the things I'm able to have and still lose weight.
I feel like I know some you from reading your posts these past 2 weeks. I just wanted to finally de-lurk and say Hi. As my user name says, my name is Lisa, and I'm a recent transplant from the DC area to Houston, TX. I got married last May and relocated here since my hubby totally laps me salary-wise and this is where his job is  It's been an adjustment being away from all my friends and family, but little by little I'm settling in. I currently telecommute for my previous employer located in MD, but I think after the first of the year, I want to find something where I at least go into the office several times a week. I'm not going to meet too many people sitting here on the couch tapping away on my laptop!
I've got about 40-50 lbs. I'd like to say goodbye to forever (5'8", 189.5/184.5/??), and for the first time in ages, I really feel it's possible to accomplish, especially with all the great success stories I read here!
Have a Great Weekend Everyone!!
-Lisa
