Hi,

Welcome!
My DH, DD, and I started last Monday August 10th. You can do it! I spend alot of time on this board getting recipies, I am eating things I thought I never would. I am SUCH a picky eater.

So is DH. I love all veggies. He doesn't. A real meat and potato kind of guy. But he is willing to try.

Thanks a bunch. Dh and I both made it through yesterday. Just a little headachy and light headed but not too many problems. I do miss my coffee though.

That's great! How nice that you can do it together.
How do you feel?
I never gave up coffee or caffeine and have lost 20lbs since April 1. I swear coffee gets me through some tough times with the diet. I'll have a cup with heavy cream instead of eating something. That's probably why you have a headache...caffeine withdrawal.

Lanshark-
When I started Atkins, I mixed unleaded coffee with the leaded for about 2 weeks, then I worked my way down. Now I have unleaded only (flavored) and 1/2 and 1/2 w/tiny splenda and a dash of pumpkin pie spice. I was a diehard coffeemate french vanilla person. I still enjoy my morning "coffee" without giving it up!!
You will love atkins, especially when you get going with it. The first 2 weeks are tough, but stick to it, and keep your eye on the prize, and you will succeed!
Good Luck!!!

You can still have your coffee. Just do these things: If you were drinking caffeine, make it decaf. If you were using milk or half and half cream, change that to heavy whipping cream. If you were using sugar, change to Splenda or Sweet and Lo. DONE!! You can still have that cup of coffee.

Best to you and keep us posted. Can't wait to see your first 5 pound clippie!!
