Finally did it!!!!!!!!!!

[maze]

began Atkins that is.........been waffling about it for months, but on Monday {no surprise there} I started!

Not sure if I'm doing it correctly.....but I have abstained from all carbs..and I'm sooooooo craving bagels......but instead I'm chomping on meat, eggs, cheese, peanuts and I just have to have my daily dose of coffee.......

I hope to lose quite a bit and am looking forward to getting some inspiration and recipe ideas from you guys....I am living in the UK, originally from Dublin, so I prefer to join the Ireland contingent.....

Wellcome Maze,good luck on induction,I also restarted induction on Mon. as I felt I needed a jump start as I have been doing Atkins since Oct.,one word of warning though peanuts are not such a good idea on induction,also you must and I mean must drink more water then you think it is possible to dtink at least 3ltrs..Why do'nt you join our challange starting tomorrow night to lose a weight of your choice by Mayday, it is kinda like the weigh in at w.w..

Thanks for the warm welcome........I have done a little research since my initial posting...and I've realised that peanuts are to b avoided during the first two weeks.........
My breath stinks {luvvly hubbie politely told me yesterday}.....but I've lost 5lbs...so to hell with stinky breath.....least I'm achieving something eh.....

Maze, my breath also stinks again thanks to my dh,but I have noticed that when I drink a lot of water and I mean a lot!! that it seems to flush out the keytones out of my system quicker ,and therefore no bad breath.It is such a great feeling to lose 5lbs keep up the good work.
