Yes..up your veggies....steer clear of processed meats, too high in salt....keep your cheese to a maximum of 4 ozs per day. :agree:
I keep my cheese to a max of 2 ozs per day. Atkins sets 4 ozs as the limit.

Welcome~!! :wave:

Thanks for the advice I did lose 2 pounds in the last couple of days. I upped my vegie intake and still continuing with my weight training. Now that it is finally warmimg I can begin walking.

Hi! I am new to this site and boy oh girl do I have enough weight to lose. I have 100 pounds and I am starting the Atkins tomorrow. I need somewhere to talk, get advice, etc. I have a question already so if anyone can help it would be appreciated--how does a person figure out net carbs?

Hey I didnt read your post. But you seem like a nice guy. Thanks for helping people out!

This support online is great for all of us.

I am new here starting today. Is there any suggestions you have to help me out here?
I need to know what to eat here and how many carbs a day am I suppose to eat.

I need to lose over 100 lbs. here, now I know that is terrible to ever get that big in the first place but I did and now I have to lose it.

Thanks for your encouraging words!!! I am back after 3 yrs...gained my original weight back...woe is me...due to illness mostly...I have diabetes and that don't help!!! Carbs,sugs,and salt being my nemisis...as with most people I think. So I will continue to check out this site...looing for the good advice. I don't cook for myself anymore which makes it more difficult. I have people cooking for me and my fresh choices are limited. Meats are not grilled...I will have to work around this...again thanks and good luck...God Bless!!! Julie from Co

I'm a newbie and hope to stick out for the long haul. Your words were very helpful and informative. Thanks! :thup:

Best of Luck!!! Continued success!!! God Bless!!! Hugs! Julie from Co

I am back. Had to buy an new computer and just getting it all set up. The lightningt fried my other one.
But I am back now.
So far i am doing ok with my eating and am down a few more pounds. Got weighed in last week at the doctors.

Sissypoo, I hope you bought a good surge protector for your new computer! :)

I did get a new power surge and bigger one to at that.
This time to I am putting everything on a back-up disc so it won't get lost. I had to go reput everything I had back in my computer manually and it took forever it seemed.

Good place for support..thanks

how is everyone doing today?
Have a fun 4th. Of July.

I just wanted to say, I doubt you will find anybody here judging you for needing to lose over 100 lbs. That is why we are all here, because of our need to lose a substantial amount :wave:

Good luck!
