Can you ladies tell me more about this atkins diet and shred??? Thank you!

Re: excited because..................

if you go to Atkins.com, you can learn how to do the diet. it's actually a great and safe diet if you do it the right way, and incorporate healthy fruits and vegitables.
The 30 day shred is a dvd from jillian michaels (the biggest loser). you can google it, and then order it. I can't wait to get it. Alot of girls on here(including my sister) are doing it, and they love it!

Re: excited because..................

thanks guys! i am going to get on the scale again now before I shower! we'll see what it says today! haha! i hate weighing myself, but now it's like an addiction, which is good in a way because it keeps me motivated i guess!

Re: excited because..................

Congratulations! I just started Atkins yesterday. I had done it years ago and lost a ton of weight, but got lazy, fell in love, quit smoking, etc., and the weight came back.

I can't wait to start seeing results! How quickly did you lose first 5 lbs?

Re: excited because..................

The atkins diet is the diet that you dont eat any carbs, correct? just meat , veggies, and fruit?

right! NO SUGARS!!! and no bread, pasta, etc. you can start incorporating them in after a certain point, but not in the beginning.

Re: excited because..................

Awesome Gina.. Keep up the good work.

You should weight yourself one time during the day.... I usually do it in the morning before i shower. That way, I know how much i lost.

Good luck with the Shred. Keep with it no matter how much pain you are in after.
