Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

If you are not sure about your food choices you can post your menus in the 'Review my Menu' forum so more experienced ADBBers can look them over for you.

As to your losses being slower than they were on previous attempts, well your body is different now than it was then, so it is bound to react differently, so just enjoy your atkineering and let it take its own sweet time.

People often report having the fastest losses the first time they try induction, so you are not alone in that.

What stage of Atkins are you following at present?

Did you work your way through the stages before to find your CCLL, or did you stay on induction all the time?

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

Hi,

The first time I did Atkins I had no idea what I was doing and stayed in induction pretty much the whole time. The second try I did with family support and I stayed in induction for about three months. Atter that I did phase 2.

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

My first time on Atkins in 1996, I lost 40 lbs. Have sinced regained all 40, plus another 40. I have made attempts in the past to lose it, but they were weak attempts. This is the time I will stick to it. I have bought all the food I need to make it through the first 2 weeks. I will probablly stay longer on induction because I have alot to lose. Glad I found this forum for second timers (even though I am past the second time).

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

Welcome to STAC, Ninaloy87! You found the right place and will feel right at home here! There are lots of folks who are on more than there "second time around", and that is okay. Everyone is quite supportive and friendly here! I've been on Atkins several times as well, and what really makes a difference to me is:

1) Checking in on this board daily, and usually more than once!!!
2) Re-Reading the book (i think i had an old copy last time and have been going by that information.) ADBB goes by the 2002 DANDR
3) Committing to a clean induction (again, in the past i let little things slip by and then would get discouraged when i was stalled.) DENIAL! Tee hee.
4) Checking in daily with a "low carb buddy" - i met my buddy last year on this board and we still check in regularly with each other! I really rely on her a lot for support!
5) Keeping looking at those before/after photos for inspiration & motivation!

You will find lots of support and friends here! Keep coming by!

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

Hi Guys,

It's Charlotte again. What I'm looking for is to see if anyone wants a buddy; I've been reading about how people help each other out on a lower scale than the forum and would like to pair off with a new friend.

Any takers??

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

Hi Charlotte, I would love to have a buddy if you have not found anyone else !! I have to lose quite a bit and that would be a lot of fun !!! We are not all that far apart on our weights and goals but I am a bit behind you, but I am working on it !!!

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

LeahRachel,I am 5' tall also but I am way,way,way past 134 pounds. I'm also 50 years young.lol I guess my understaning is wrong because I thought you eat until you are satisfied but know I see you count your fat,protien and carb. I always measured my food as far as the amounts,like 4 oz. meat etc.Do you or anyone know if this 65-30-5 amount is per meal or per day? I wish you much success this time around. I am on my fourth day on induction and so far 9 lbs. gone. I know it is fluid but I am still sooooooooo glad.
