I found this site today searching for some support while starting Atkins. This is day 3 of my "lifestyle change." ("Diet" is a four-letter word for me, so I'm trying to look at it a little bit differently.) I started Atkins on Monday after seeing my husband lose around 20 pounds over the past two months and becoming inspired to do something about my own weight problem.

Well, Day 1 went very well and I was very optimistic. Day 2 was a different story completely. I woke up feeling nauseated, light-headed, very tired and generally just awful. After re-reading part of the Atkins book I soon realized that I must be going through some serious food withdrawals. Today I'm feeling slightly better and I'm hoping that this goes away soon because I don't have very much will power and could easily give up.

Has anyone else suffered through the first days but made good progress shortly after that? And I have lots of other questions, but before posting them all I will read through some of the other recent posts and see if I can find the answers there first.

I look forward to learning a lot here and perhaps making some new friends.
