New To LCF Starting Induction on 5-01-08

SandraLP · 04-22-2008, 06:55 PM

Hi There,

My name is Sandy. I'm 52yo going on 5 and have totally been out of control for the past couple of years. Back in 2003 I lost 65 pounds on Atkins, and I wish I had stuck with it. I'm sooo ready to get this weight off. I love LCing because I can eat out and not have to pay attention to calories. Now that my kids are grown, I really don't enjoy cooking the way I used to.

My hubby and I will be starting the program together, he's been outta control too. This next week I'll be cleaning the carbs our of my cupboards and filling them up with LC supplies. I'm looking forward to meeting new friends here on LCF and getting back on the road to good health.

Sandy

Welcome back Sandy. I wish you great success. The first thing I would encourage you to do is, if you do not have the Dr. Atkins book (if that is the plan you are using) is to buy it so that you will have it for reference and will not be misled by the many modified versions you will find here.
If you are using South Beach or some other plan, then make sure you have their book or info to refer back to.
I have been on and off with LC WOE for several years now and know that fastest way to ketosis it to go by the Dr.'s orders!

See you around the site!

Back Sandy and to hubby. Cant wait to read more about your success stories

Thank you all so much for your warm welcome and good wishes for success. I think it's important to have a support connection when changing your lifestyle, especially when it comes to changing your WOE. I have much confidence that I'm going to do GREAT. I've done it in the past, but this time I'm going to stick with it because I'm not conidering it a DIET but a new way of life. I've had Dr Atkins book "The New Diet Revolution" since it first came out. I also have a copy of his very first book and I have a copy of his New Diet Revolution Cookbook. I've read them all at least twice and I still go back and reference them from time to time. I know LCing works. I've got the blood tests to prove it. My main goal now is to simply make it a way of life instead of a quick way to lose weight and then after the weigh is off going back to old bad habbits. I want to be around when my grandchildren get married and start having children of their own, so this time if has to be a LIFE change for me.

My official start date will be on Sunday 4/27 but really I've already gotten started. Sunday morning I'll be taking all of my measurements and do my offical weigh-in as well as begin my food journal. I'm excited about this. I know how well it's worked for me in the past and I can't wait to reach my first goal.

Here's to making new LC friends!
