Newbie with 67 lbs to lose...need support

august · 04-24-2003, 02:51 PM

I've started dieting 3 days ago and lost 2 lbs, but after talking to a friend who's on the Atkins program, I am going out to buy the book and continue from there. I'd love to have a pal for support who I can encourage as well as pick me up on my down days. Looking forward to the journey. (well right now anyway)
Thanks

Hi...
Good Luck on your new journey...it's a hard one but in the end it's worth it. when I started Atkins I lost 45 lbs in 3 months and felt great. Sadly I stopped and regret it now...I have a friend who got me back on track

I have over 100 lbs to lose. I'm really happy I found this site it's kind of like finally knowing I'm not alone that there is someone else with the same problems out there.. Good Luck with your new beginning you can do it...

Have a Great Day!
Patty

Hi, I just got started 11 days ago...I'm looking for some extra support, too! I have at least 80 pounds to lose, maybe more. I've never been thin, so I arbitrarily chose 130 as my goal...Maybe I'll get there and keep going (hope so!) My days 3 and 4 on Atkins induction were the hardest, so beware...I had to make a special trip to the store to buy things like shrimp, salmon, steak, instead of my usual mac and cheese and pizza (I have 2 children). Anyway, welcome and good luck!

I have done so much reading the last 2 days here and I'm finding it quite interesting and am really looking forward to the challenge. Summer has nothing on me this time! I'm greatful for your encouraging words, thanks. Hope to hear from you all again.
