this is day 3 cheat free, got the headache, got the nasty taste in my mouth, but feeling good about being on track...haven't weighed think I'm only gonna weigh every two weeks because I can get totally hung up on the scale weighing several times a day fretting over the water loss and gain etc.
the headache is INCREDIBLE ...oouch. Trying to keep my calories down today as yesterday they were 2500...kinda high I think.

Hi Everybody,
I am definitely a triple digit club candidate. I am 5'9" tall and way in at 377 lbs. I definitely want to get started right away. I tend to get caught up in perfectionism and numbers. I was in Overeaters Anonymous for a while and did well. But that was 100+ lbs. ago. At this weight, I am not sure how many calories I need every day and I have no idea how to put together an Atkins plan. Can anyone suggest some ideas to get me started right away? At this weight, does anyone know an exercise DVD I can get that is easy enough for me to do every day? All suggestions and ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is this how I start a journal, by posting here to introduce myself as a low-tech LC4Lifer, a Luddite in search of enlightenment, mostly cruising/lurking to see WHAT WORKS FOR YOU, in case maybe I can apply that to my own LC effort? Might work for me too! If this is the starting gate, I'm here. If not, I'm lost.

I wasn't sure if "Reply to Thread" was the way to start a journal - ??? But I guess the only way to find out is to try. My entry today: am happy and more important, hopeful, because I found this website.

Hi there nereid,

To start a journal, you need to go to the Journal/Bootcamp area and start a new thread. More info can be found here: http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=160916
