Hi everyone! nativetxn has invited me to join you all...

[Jeafl]

I've decided to start Atkins today, since I know I am a carbo addict. I hope to get lots of good tips and recipes in the coming days!

Welcome!!!!!

I have been on Atkins since 6/2001. I have lost a total of 70 pounds and have kept it off. Just so you know we had pasta and a loaf of Italian bread at every meal. I was never big on sugar, but drank 2 liters of Diet Coke a day.

I went from a size 22 to curently in a size 8. If I can do it, anyone can.

Wishing you lots and lots of luck, and will power!!

Yell if ya need someone to talk you out of carbs

Hi Jill! Welcome to the WISH boards, so nice to have you here.

[Jeafl]

Thanks everyone! Now if I can just get my butt out of this chair and go exercise, I would be much better off!

Hi Jeafl. I'm so glad to see you here on WISH.

I've been eating the Atkins way since 1/9 and have lost 26.5 pounds so far. The first 18 pounds were dropped in the first 3 weeks.

Glo is our WISH board Atkins success story, she has done so well. She is a great inspiration to me.

Grab your WISH clipart. There is a post <b>HERE</b> (http://disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=326403) that tells you how to do that. You will probably be trading up to the 5 pound loss clippie after your first week.

We have a great support group here, there are some really good Atkins recipes available to us and lots of encouragement from fellow WISHers. I'm really glad you are part of our support group now.

Good Luck Jeafl!

I went from a size 10 down to a size 4 the first time I went on Atkins. Then I started eating whole grain carbs (I'm a vegetarian) and within 2 years I went back up to a size 12 (the largest I've ever been). So now I'm back on it, since last Tuesday.

The best tip I can give you is to read the Atkins Book and watch out for hidden sugars. Read all your labels!

Good Luck, I'm looking forward to hearing how your doing.
