Hi, where do I begin?

[thebigman]

:confused: at 343 lbs where do I start with the Atkins diet, I have been doing the gym for the past month and lost 7lbs, but love my carbohydrates, it is because of this I feel I might be better off on low carb diet and remove the temptation to binge on carb rich food. I visited the Atkins web site and gathered as much info re induction, so planning to start tommorrow. So a big hello and please give any advice you have

together we can do it!!

Welcome :wave: , and you've already begun -- you've gathered information, made an informed decision, and joined us here on this forum!

I encourage you to start a journal (instructions are at the top of this forum). It's a great place to wonder, cheer, vent, etc. -- and lots of nice folks stop by to encourage you!

We also have a special forum for folks facing the extra challenge of losing 100 or more pounds -- it's called the Triple Digits Club, and you are cordially invited to attend!

Thanks for your reply I have just started my journal and finding this group really great fun. Today is day One so I am off to find out more about what I should be eating, in terms of meals and make a shopping list for the store.
:wave: so a big hello to yourself!!!
