    Status just sharing the good news

    I have not dropped a single pound since I hit 260 but the interesting thing is I am still losing inches steadily.

    My dress belt I wear with my work slacks ran out of holes and I had to punch a hole in it this morning to use it.

    Also for anyone with pre-diabetes and Acanthosis Nigricans which is part of the whole diabesity thing, it is steadily fading away!! This means my insulin response is getting better in just 4 weeks of Atkins and most likely this summer I will be able to go swimming with my kids w/out being embarrassed from the skin condition.

    For those that don't know what acanthosis nigricans is here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acanthosis_nigricans

    I just want to say I'm so happy to be back on Atkins, I know for sure this time it's a forever life style thing. The depression of the weight and the skin condition and foot problems is going away each day and the clothes just keep getting looser and looser.

    All those others who are just off induction hang in there and stay the course !!!!

    That is wonderful news! Congratulations on such a great improvement in health. I'm also glad that you are willing to not fixate on the scale and let your clothes do the talking. With such a positive, attitude, you WILL succeed.

              Well done

              It is great that some of your other health problems are improving so quickly too
              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!!

                  Congratulations! It is so important to celebrate the health benefits we find and share them with everyone!

                  I started at 497 pounds and over the months of doing Atkins, each visit to the doctor was and eye opener for me. As the pounds melted, the medication needs diminished a bit at a time. At 497, I took two diabetic medications and two shots of insulin every day. Gradually, the dosages were reduced, meds were changed or eliminated. The day he finally told me I didn't need anymore meds or insulin for diabetes I knew that Dr. Atkins saved me and he never even met me!

                  So when people moan and groan about why I'm so rigid and by the book about sticking to DANDR 2002, staying with what works is far more important than fulfilling a sweet or a carb craving!

                  When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.
