I really do think we have a lot to offer. I love this thread but new people coming on board can be helpful to them and to us! Thoughts anyone?

I totally agree and I love this thread too!
I have no problem with anyone doing A '72 joining our merry band of Warriors b/c our ultimate goal is to help support, encourage and inspire each other every day.
The only roadblock I can foresee is that we don't have experience climbing the carb ladder. So we wouldn't be much help there...
Climbing the carb ladder doesn't work for me with my carb metabolic processing disorder and food related issues, so that's why I've stuck to Induction carbs all this time, as you guys know!
And Dr. A did say this which resonates with me to this day:

The best decision is probably to stay pretty much on the very low carbohydrate diet on which you lost; only now you can feel free to deviate in small ways.

Personally, I need the support to learn how to work this particular program. There seems to be plenty of areas on this site and on the internet for the Atkins in general.

We're totally here for you if you're doing Atkins '72!

I realized that I never properly introduced myself. Let me rectify that right now!
Hello, everyone. I'm Jane. I'm 50 yrs old and a real shortie at 5'2". This morning I weighed in at 198 lbs and I hope to get down to the 120 range. I have a dairy allergy, so I'll have to improvise to get the dairy equivalent. Not because I need the dairy, but because I miss the rich taste. Right now I'm trying out coconut milk and next week I'll try out almond milk.
I'm starting my phase 1 tomorrow and my husband is joining me. Yay! It will be so much easier without his carby treats tempting me all day long. Plus, we can eat our meals together and spend some quality time.

Hiya Jane, nice to meet you!
That's terrific that your DH is gonna be doing this with you! Sure will make cookin' that much easier and will eliminate the carby treats which could be a temptation!
I really adore the vanilla favored almond milk...makes me feel like Imma having an expensive foo-foo coffee... Which I've never had since I refuse to pay THAT much for a cup of Joe! Gees, almost the price of a lb of coffee... Yeah Imma pretty frugal!
In any case, wishing both of you much success as you start your journey to better HEALTH!
You'll have to let us know how your DH is doing...

Holy Hannah! You've gotten a lot of snow... is it a record???
Hope you had a chance to take a nap!
And I hope the stock market is on an up swing this week b/c I know how that affects how much work you have to do!

THAT is very important to me. To hold our thread to the A72 induction food list values that work for a warrior.
I don't think being a 'generic' A72 eating thread is gonna help me at all. I could go find that kinda eating thread anywhere.
I need and require the strict warrior style. I come here knowing my food eating place in this big bad carb world. I know our little thread is small and tight and very 'controlled' in our eating fashion of just eating the A72 Induction food list but that is exactly where I want it to stay!
This thread is eat the A72 Induction food list to your goal weight loss you want to achieve, after that anyone in maintenance CAN opt to add a few more carbs and experiment a bit if they desire. I am here for a reason, carbs have to go and a biological zero carb eating day is what I must have all the time.
hey, just my honest opinion on all this

Didn't you also start the LC Our Way thread couple of years ago, where everyone is all over the place on how they approach an LC WOE? NOT at all a criticism but an OBSERVATION...
That thread is still going strong and you've managed to stick to your ZC WOE w/o any problems.
I don't personally think having people in here doing A '72 is going to distract us from following our own LC WOE. That's all Imma saying...

Hope you continue to post in here! B/c I know I'll support and encourage you 100%!
