Hi there-- I'm just finishing my first week of induction and have had encouraging results. I've never tried Atkins before, but I've tried everything else under the sun and have lost and then gained everything back with interest. It is very scary for me to start something new because I'm so afraid that I'm going to fail again. I think it will be good for me to have the support of people who either have been through or are going through exactly what I am.

I'm looking forward to success!

Hi and welcome to a great forum. I also have tried every program imaginable with varied success. This is the only way of eating that has given me sustainable results.
Stop by often for inspiration and much great information. Ask questions because there are many knowledgeable people who will help you.
Glad you found us. Good luck.

Cheers,
Lara

Welcome wshouse. I'm sure you'll find, as I have, that this WOE is very different from anything you've tried before. This one actually works I've lost weight, I feel great and it's so easy to stick to it. When a week passes by and I haven't lost weight, I can check my measurements and sure enough, I've lost inches. The hopelessness that accompanies most *diets* (not to mention the fatigue and hunger) is gone. I know this works... and it can work for you too!

Hi, once you starting seeing results, you'll think this is wonderful, not scary.

Nothing ventured nothing gained. (no pun intended!!)
