Subject: New to Low Carb Need Info and Encouragement!

Hello! My name is Kelly and I just started the Atkin's Answer on Monday 8/12/02. My daughters birthday was on 8/11 and I told her that I wanted to live long enough to see her turn at least 80, so I decided to try (scratch that) DO this!

I am 33, 5'4" and weigh 230 lbs. I have been fighting my weigh problem since I was 18, have gone up and down many times. My highest being 250, and my lowest at 135. I am so very determined to do this and I am looking for some input and hope you all can help me.

I thought at first I was going to have a hard time "counting" carbs, but I am finding it very easy. The first two days I was craving a lot of things, and waking up in the morning to hunger pains. I though "OH NO! I will never make it!" Well, I am happy to say, I stuck to it, and have not been craving anything since Thursday and I did not wake up to a growling stomach this morning! Woo-Hoo!

My questions are many, but I will start out basic.
1. What is the average weight loss a month that you have lost in the first three months?
2. Is it best to weigh yourself everyday, everyother, once a week or what?
3. What are the best exercises to do? Is "Curves" (circuit training) enough, or do I need to be more active?
4. Are there any diet sodas that are "safe" to drink that don't contain aspartame?
And Finally,
5. Where can I find a lot of encouraging stories to help me keep focused on my goals?

Thank you for any and all answers!
Good luck to all of you and I hope to keep in touch!
Kelly
