Hi Everyone, I just joined this forum and figured I should be polite and introduce myself. I'm Greg (or Coyote) from Florida. I just started the Atkins diet one week ago. I dropped 12 pounds so far. I know it's all water but getting below 300 pounds sure put a big smile on my face.

The first three days went fine. Then I was miserable on the 4th day. I had terrible cravings. I finally have an inkling how a drug addict or alchoholic feel. I just kept drinking more and more water all day long. I kept saying "See these cravings prove that you've got a real problem here" I drank so much water that I should have paid rent for the bathroom

I found this site by accident and after thinking it over I decided that joining this forum could be nothing but a positive for me. I'll hopefully be around for a long time, because I intend on losing 99 more pounds.

I hope to make a few friends and I hope that most of us reach our goals.

God Bless

Greg
