  • Is there anybody 50+ out there?

    Is there anybody 50+ out there? It's been awhile since anyone posted. C'mon now, I know I'm not the only one claiming to be a half century old. Boy, that sounds aweful...half a century.

    1st Week Induction - Down 7.6 lbs.

    Can I do this? You bet your :censor: I can...with plenty of help.:)

    Hi
    I think as most people find that Atkineering makes them feel younger (at least I do) we dont neccessarily think of posting here!

    But - there are plenty of us "old'uns" around the board willing to respond to any posts here, so post away and get things going
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

      Elizellen is right. When I think of a 50+ forum, my mind automatically thinks of problems associated with being over 50. Since I started this WOE, I feel younger, look younger and have a new outlook on getting older. I'm here and I'm over 50, but I'm feeling younger every year.

            Me too.
            Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
            he said, 'Don't count calories.'

                I'm here too! I guess I don't look in this forum because I don't want to believe that it will be harder for me because of my age!

                  ITS NOT. Trust me. I'll be 52 in 3 months and I've been maintaining a 40+ loss for nearly 6 years.

                        So what would you like to talk about? As you see there are lots of us around ready to respond - it just needs someone to get the ball rolling!

                        For me, I dont think I have found anything in the Atkins WOE particularly difficult due to my advanced years - 57 going on 58 next month. But as it is my only time of doing Atkins I have no experience of how it was to do it when younger!

                        Has anyone who did follow the WOE say a decade or more ago experienced any extra problems that they can put down to the age gap?
                        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

                          I'll be 50 in January! I would post a photo, but have never quite figured out how.

                            I'm on the north side of the mid point 'tween 50 and 60! If this is what it feels like, it is going to be fine!
