Big guy needing to drop a few pounds.

My health is getting worse so I need to start getting in to shape before it's too late.

See ya around.

Best of luck to you....I did Atkins a few years ago and lost 65 lbs. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! This diet, by far is the easiest to stick to, you just HAVE to be really diligent about the first 2 weeks after that ...it's a breeze.

well anything we can contribute, we're more than happy to! Just stick with it, and you'll see the weight and the health problems diminish! don't forget your exercise and drink plenty of healthy water

Thanks for the encouragement.
I will be starting on Atkins on Monday.
Using this weekend to clean out the cabinets and shop for the correct foods.

Why not start a journal? ;-)

Good for you, Zeppo!

Try to focus on the delicious foods you can have and not so much on what you cannot have. Grabbing the roasted chicken from the grocery store is a nice convenience. I've also gotten the frozen chopped sirloin burgers and salmon burgers from Costco. You can cook them up without thawing. Add some salad from the bags with blue cheese or ranch dressing or else microcook some frozen broccoli and dinner is served! Another quick meal is canned tuna or salmon, mixed with mayo, pickles and chopped cucumber. The individually wrapped cheese is good for a snack to take with you.

This support forum has been very helpful for me too. You probably wont believe how many aches and pains go away. And your cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar should get into the normal range very quickly.

WELCOME ZEPPO! It works... This is all I have to say! Good luck
