Hello,

I just started today on the Dr. Atkins plan. I am afraid to hope since nothing else has worked. I am hypothyroid, so weight is very stubborn on me. Other thyroid patients report good results with low-carb plans, so I am giving it a go. Heck, I can do anything for 6 weeks, right? If at the end of 6 weeks things still look bleak, then I reassess my situation.

I would really love someone to keep in contact with, to help me stay on the straight and narrow. I have a long way to go, and it's an uphill battle. Anyone with advice as to how to get through the first couple days, e-mail me quick, 'cause, I am sure I'll need it.
