Today is Day One
 

Hi!
I am very excited to start the Atkins diet! I really need to lose weight. I am a mother of a beautiful two year old and have diabetes. I am just tired of going to the doctor and having her upset with me because of my weight. I weigh 260 pounds. I do not like being this heavy and that is why I started the Atkins diet. I really need alot of encouragement and I need to remind myself that it is very important that I get healthy for myself and my daughter. Diabetes runs in my family and I know what it does to you and your body. So I will try to update everyday! Good luck to us all!!!!!!!!!!!:)

New Atkins Book
 

There is a new Atkins book that is coming out tomorrow that might be helpful.
Good luck on your weight loss,
Patricia

Welcome! I am pretty new here too. There is alot of great support here. I have spent a month looking and reading. Look ath the goal forum and that will give you alot of insentive. It has me :)

Welcome. If you need lots of encouragement, this is the place to get it all day and night. When I started I went to the maintainer's threads and read them and learned as much as I could. It hasn't been hard at all. I can see living this way for life.

Jump in and enjoy your journey!!

You've come to the right place for lots of encouragement and support! You can do this thing! My advice is to make several mini-goals that you can reach pretty quickly. It is so empowering to check those off your list!

Hey, check out my ticker -- you can do it!!!

Good luck!
