Hey everyone, this is my first day of LC/Atkins and I stumbled upon this board. Yay! .

I actually did Atkins with great results about 4 years ago, but some laziness/quitting smoking recently have pushed my weight up to uncomfortable numbers and I'm ready to get serious again.

So, just wanted to introduce myself. Having support is makes a tremendous difference for me, so you'll be seeing a lot of me

Hi gigi!
to LCE! We're glad you're here!

A BIG congrats on kicking the nicotine habit!!! That's a HUGE health benefit.
Best wishes on your journey to healthy eating and weight loss!
The folks here are terrific!!
Post often and let us know how things are going, OK?

Welcome, Gigi.

Hope you'll make yourself at home here.

Thank you both for the kind welcome

Day one was okay - though I know I was a bit grumpy, going through carb and sugar withdrawl. It'll get easier as the days pass, I'm sure.

Thanks for the kudos for quitting smoking, Shelley! It was soooo hard - I figure if I can get through that, giving up carbs again should be a breeze

Anyway, thanks again for welcoming me. I will see you around the boards.

Welcome Gigi! Just take it one day at a time and you'll get through it. Wishing you much success!

Welcome, Gigi. I'm betting a few days more and you'll be feeling great.
Glad to have you with us!!

Hi everyone! Today is the start of day 4, and I feel more energetic already. Getting all my waters in is helping a lot, I think. It's keeping me full and just making me feel clean.

I am sooo tempted to get on the scale -- even though I know how the scale screws with people's minds. I'll wait until Tuesday morning (same time, same day every week is my plan), but I can already feel a little bit of a difference in my clothes, so I know I'm on the right track

Have a great day, ladies!
