grn-my advice to you is this: if you plan on starting Atkins tomorrow-make sure that you have the book, and that you have read it all thoroughly from start to finish. It will provide all information, menus, allowed foods, basic outline of the plan in its different phases, and everything you need to start.
Second-realize that permanent weight loss is slow and steady. November is only a month and a half away-so don't set your sights too high as far as a large weight loss by vacation time. A healthy weight loss can vary from 1/4 to 2 pounds per week.
If you need help and support specifically for the Atkins plan-try the low carb forum here at 3FC-there are lots of Atkins and other low carb followers over there.
Good luck to you,
Aphil
