Hi Amy! :) I know exactly how you feel. Being unhappy sucks big-time. I think you'll find there are many people here who will help you along, motivate and support you. I'm a part of a group here called Low Carb Daily Check In. It's a really fun little group of people who are active on this site. We check in daily on the thread posted, share our days, our thoughts, our fears, our recipes and there's always smiles and laughter. One of the main things I enjoy about the group is that your post will never go unnoticed. I know that means a lot to me. I actually left a couple of other sites because no one ever said anything to me. That won't happen here. If you'd like to join us, we'd be thrilled to have you! We all need as much motivation and support as we can get! Good luck to you!! 

I would recommend signing up for the free tools that they send you on the website, if you haven't already. I also got the book. I would suggest getting the physical book rather than the epub version because it allows you to make notes, cross reference things for yourself, and make meal plans a little easier. Good luck to you! I am joining you in this journey! 

That's a great idea, Allie! :) 

Thanks guys! How do i go about signing up for the free tools? Everything free is amazing in my eyes! 

Amy, if you go to the Atkins website, you can sign up to receive an sort-of "welcome" or "introduction" package. They will send you, free, a little guide to get started and 3 (I think) Atkins bars, and maybe some coupons. Sorry, I don't remember :/ 

Ok, i signed up for that already!  

Yes, the Atkins website has a WEALTH of knowledge on how to do it correctly. Please make sure that you research research research. Atkins is an amazing lifestyle (not a diet). If you follow it completely correctly then you will have lifetime success at keeping the weight off. Losing the weight is the easy part, right? It's keeping that weight off that is super hard. Atkins, done correctly, will help you keep it off.
