Smile Hello...I'm new....lots of advice needed!

Hey there!!! I'm new here but not to this WOE....I'm planning on starting on Monday....have to many plans this wkend soooo, I decided to wait until the wkend was over....

I've done Atkins before and loved the results but my will-power just wasn't there....I need support and lots of advice....Spring is right around the corner and Summer is after that....I don't want to be wearing big shirts AGAIN! Plus with my kids and all the animals, I want to keep up with them!

I've been reading all of the posts for a couple of hours now and the support here is incredible! So, I'm hoping that I came to a great place to start!

Lots of advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Goat lady,

If you want advice you've come to the right place. 2 things first- start a journal, and join fitday. Both of those will help you keep track of your journey, and can help others figure out problems if you run into any.

Water, water, water.

Finally, don't be afraid to ask questions, but you might try to use the search function to see if you can hunt down previous threads first. There's a wealth of information on this site.

best of luck!

This is a great place to come for support and advice. I would have fallen (again) the first week if it weren't for this board.

This is my second go on Atkins. The last time, I fell off due to boredom with what I was eating. This time, I found this place and the recipe's are fantastic! I've done the Deep Dish Pizza Quiche, Mok Danish and French toast. I can't believe I'm eating these things and still loosing weight!

This morning, my wife commented that my pot-belly has reduced.

Another good thing is, since I've eaten the Deep Dish Pizza, I've forgotten what real pizza taste like, so I don't have the craving for it anymore and it works out good for Friday's dinner during Lent.
