  • love to join in

    Hello everyone. I started Atkins on Feb 13th, 2009 and just finished my 11th day of induction. I would love to join in over here . I started at 331.4 lbs and I feel like I have such a longggg way to go , but I am hoping joining the board will keep me accountable. I hope to give and get as much support as I can!

        Yeah, answering rollcall really helps. You're commiting yourself to the diet every morning. And its a great place. I had problems with cheating at first. I hated to be the one that messed up. But I confessed to help keep myself inline. I like the fact the people here will be here for awhile. Its a different way of looking at the diet than from people who are trying to loose ten pounds too. I'm not picking on them or anything, its just different that's all.



        My starting weight was 235 lbs and I'm trying to get to 130 lbs.

        1st mini goal: 145! met 12/09
        2nd mini goal: 140!
        3rd mini goal:135!
        4th mini goal: 130!

        I drink coffee. I drink when I am thirsty. I am just a low carber. Not on Atkins at all!!! He has everything to do with my weightloss and nothing to do with it, depending on who you ask.

          I understand what you mean Rita. I am not putting anyone down, but it is hard for me sometimes to listen to my friends complaining they are "fat" and have like 10-20 lbs to lose and I'm like sitting there thinking "you got to be kidding me!" I have such a long way to go but I know I can do it with all this support

            People here understand what it is to have a longer term plan to meet weight loss goals. My advice is to make a plan, stick to it. Plan menus so that you don't even have to think about it when you are hungry ... sometimes with temptations around, we can be easily derailed before we even know it.

            Read DANDR and stay away from processed foods. Dr. Atkins knew what he was doing when he gave us a list of specific foods to eat and gave us a set of rules. Don't try to reinvent is way of life because his way of life works. I couldn't be happier that I had some good advice when I began on this board years ago.

            Best of luck to you!

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

              Welcome! This is a great support system. Take is one day at a time, one pound at at time. You didn't gain the weight overnight, it will take some time. Follow the plan - you can do it!!
