I'm starting Atkins tomorrow or Sunday at the latest, want to make sure I have everything I need and clean up my pantry. Since we are all three newbies we could be buddies, no? That would be fun! Are you using the ketostix?

thank you! it took me a long, long time to lose that 95 lbs doing calorie counting/low fat and i was miserable. i am thankful i have kept it off! i haven't used the ketostix yet, i was going to pick some up later this week, i've just been going on how i feel, the scale and seeing my cravings disappear.

i don't have full control yet and i know it will come with time, but it is so exciting to see this diet do it in a few days when taking meds and following a doctor approved/ADA diet couldn't do in 2 years!
thank you all, ladies! yes, i would LOVE for us to keep in touch and encourage each other! i have had more people trying to discourage me and do something different. well this is working for me and i am loving it so far. unfortunately today i am under the weather with allergies and a nasty cold. i got pretty sick yesterday due to overheating and let's just say that there are certain foods i do NOT want. so now i'm trying to figure out how to stay on the program while being sick. i'm actually happy this happened as atkins is a lifestyle change and the earlier i learn how to handle things like this the better. together we can and will do this!
