    This is where it all started

    Hi friends. Well, tomorrow is 4 years for me on Atkins. It's been an adventure and I haven't regretted it for a minute. I'm not going to lie and say its always been easy. I'm going to tell you that it has been the best thing I've ever done for myself.

    Lessons I've learned along the way are: Always go forward - improve your exercise routine and meals. Think positively about yourself, your future and your relationships with people and food. Don't feel deprived...feel fortunate that you're impacting your life with health and happiness.

    Make plans, not excuses. The support here is awesome...utilize it. Learn, plan and embrace this way of life. Each obstacle that you overcome will give you more strength to succeed. Don't let anyone or anything get in your way...Make it happen.

      Um, isn't it more like four years and one month? Your stuff says you started in March 2004.

      Regardless, congratulations! An amazing transformation!

        Good observation. I started low-carbing in March 2004, but joined the ADBB in April 2004 and thats when things really got going for me. The first month when I did it on my own, I was more or less wandering around wondering what I was doing. In April 2004...I joined the board, read the book and started following the plan as Dr. A advised and thats when the bell went off in my head and I got serious.

          You are a big inspiration for all of us. Not only your transformation physically and mentally (changing, breaking habits, working on lifestyle) but also determination wise - sticking to this WOE... WOL. That's really fabulous! Good for you! I hope I will have the will power to get so far as well.

            Thanks for all you do. You are an inspiration and role model.

            What I know:
            1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
            2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
            3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
            4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.
