Hi,

I am somewhat new to this whole Atkins thing. I tried once before but just couldn't stick with it. So I just started again yesterday and I really hope that I can be strong this time. I am a sahm mother of 3 (8, 5, and 1 1/2). I had gained a bunch of weight before I even got pregnant with my last child. Add on top of that the pregnancy weight and here I am. I am very nervous about this whole thing and hope to find some encouragement and support here.

I have read through DANDR once before but still have some questions
Just exactly how much water should I be drinking? If I fill up a gallon jug and drink it throughout the day, would that be enough? Is it okay to eat "low carb" bars during induction? How much weight do most people lose during induction? Thanks so much and sorry if these questions have been asked before.
