I've been a lurker here now I'm in....

I have started Atkins thanks to all of you. I did it for 10 days then went off to just see the difference in how I felt. I lost 7 pounds that first week. Took 2 weeks and went back to normal and ate what I wanted plus some (we were camping and holidaying.)Gained back 4 pounds and found an appreciation for low carb eating. What a difference in my mood and energy level. I couldn't beleive it. So now I've been back on for 2 weeks. Still loving it, a little sick of eggs though. Ready to start some new things to keep it interesting. I have found the recipes that Disney girl has posted along with many others so incredibly helpful and wonderful. Thank you. I am from Canada though. And I can't find alot of the things you guys talk about like pork rinds, flavoured whippers to add to my whipping cream, Da vinci syrups. My grocery store has none of these things I have checked everywhere. Could you please tell me where I could get some of this stuff. I'm dying to try out the mozza sticks someone coated in porkrinds and the flavoured whipping cream someone put in frezzer to make little icecream bites. Yummy! If it wasen't for this site I would never have started this nor would have my dad, his girlfriend and a friend of mind. Thanks so much. Please keep posting your Awesome recipes and snack ideas.

I'm so glad you found us here! This is an awesome board. Lots of encouragement and great support. I don't do Atkins and I don't live in the US (right now) so I'm not much help to you at this point. But I'm sure an Atkins type will be by soon to help you with some of your requests/concerns. I know that some of the products you asked about can be purchased online. Maybe another WISH'er can tell you where that online site is? Anyone?

Again, welcome, to you, your Dad, his GF, and your other friend! The DIS is a pretty cool place!

Welcome to WISH! This is a great place for support, and I am so glad you are joining us. I do WW's, so I can't help you with Atkins!

Good luck, it sounds like you are doing well already.
