Hey guys! I am really excited to be logging in for the first time!
I am happy to report that I am on the Atkins Diet, and I have lost 18 1/2 lbs during my first 12 days of induction! I am on my way! I still have a few questions and am a little stumped that this is actually working, so I will cruise this very helpful website and look for some answers. Any newbies want to hook up for support?
I have so much to lose that no one that I work with has even noticed the first 18 lbs, but hey, I put on a pair of jeans that I could not wear last month and they were great! So...just about 65 left to go....gosh that seems like a long time for Induction! I just want a piece of gum!! any suggestions?
I do not want to buy the Atkins gum at like 10 bucks a pack!
Hope to hear from someone...seems like this will be fun!

Hi MeWnaBThin

Hello and welcome to this forum. I really like your user name. I agree with that whole heartedly.

Congratulations on such a terrific loss so far and you are not even at the end of induction yet. Progress will start to slow down from now, but you are off to an excellent start.

I would encourage you to start a journal on this site, under M-Q, and keep track of your progress. I find mine a great motivator.

I wish you every success.

Thanks for the support!
I knew that I would start slowing down, in fact, the first week I lost 13 1/2 then the second week only 5. So....the slow down has started, and I am trying not to get discouraged.
Hey do you know of any gum that I can have? I am really needing something for this breath!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again! Oh, and I will check out the journal section.

Have a great day!
