            Also new to this board. I am 59 years old. I did Atkins with success 3 years ago and managed to keep weight under control. However, stopped smoking 6 months ago and have gained 30 pounds. Some from going off plan and compensating for the not smoking, and some from change in metabolism. I've been back induction for about 4 weeks now -- have only lost 6 pounds. However, it was slow last time also. I just need to be patient and hang in there. None of my clothes fit and I refuse to buy new clothes until I loose more weight.

              Thanks for this forum - it's nice to have a place where people can come who aren't losing maybe as quickly as others. I understand what Iwritedocs said about meds...I'm on meds that I'd rather curl up in bed and sleep than get up and get at it...but I'm up and at it now!!!

              Each time I see Elizellen's before/after pics I'm just amazed and in awe of her commitment. I keep looking at pics and reading success stories and it helps.

              Hi to everyone here...I'm Carole. Say hi anytime

                Hi Everyone, I am new here, also. I am 64 y/o, and am on my way to losing 50 pounds. I have been on Atkins for 3 weeks, and have lost 13.5 lbs. Santa brought me a Wii, and I am really into the Wii Fit. It is fantastic. If I can answer any questions about it, bring 'em on. I am so glad to see this board for us "Sexy Seniors". LOL !!! If 50 is the new 40, then what the heck am I ? teehee

                      Hi Carole & Sally, I wouldn't say that I am a Wii "expert".........but I am giving it heck. LOL !!! Looks like you guys do a lot of working out. I have been really out of shape for a couple of years, and am trying hard to get back where I was. I feel so much better. I can see such a difference by not having tons of carbs everyday. And I am committed not to take the first bite of anything that even resembles a "cheat". I know how that goes from past experience. I will keep you informed of my progress. Next Wednesday will be four weeks for me, and I can see a BIG change in my body already. If I am rambling, it is because I am EXCITED !!!! Talk to you soon.

                        Hi Tbbuc I just want to welcome you to our little corner of ADBB
                        I look forward to sharing your Atkins journey
                        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!



                        Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

                            Hi Everyone, I happened upon a great website for low-carb recipes. I know we have tons of them, but the more the merrier. It really helps to keep your menus diversified....so I am enclosing a link. Hope you enjoy. ( and I hope you haven't seen this one before ! )ALDI Meal Planner: Recipe Search Results Nancy
