Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

I have been reading with interest many of the comments from people who have begun their 2nd Atkins journey.
I also fell off the rails & have been procrastinating for about 12 month, all the while adding back those kg lost at an alarming rate.
Managed to loose about 23kg (50lb) in 12 month back in 2005 but 2006 saw me back on the carbs with a vengance.....

It has taken me a while but I have slapped myself into the correct frame of mind & started induction again yesterday - I feel like but know that this will only be short term & that the benefits will far outweigh (pardon the pun) the small discomforts of the first week or so.
Looking forward to spending some time in this site to get all the inspiration I need & maybe offer some of my experiences.

I am excited now. This is just what I need and no one ask how many times we have started over. I am in love.

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

Ah, yep. This is me. I had a good start losing with Atkins (40 pounds of a desired 120 pounds) back in 2003/04. Then I had to focus on returning to school. So I let this go.



BIG mistake!

So please count me in as a Second (Third, Fourth, etc.) Timer.

Habits are so hard to break.. Today as I made my run to the post office a weird feeling came over me... I forgot about the bakery next door that I used to stop off at for a cookie. I passed it by and didn't look back... DEJAVU!!!

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

Hello Everyone,

This is my second time at Atkins. The first time around I got really scared after reading a bunch of internet articles about fat and how bad the Atkins diet is. Even though I was losing weight I allowed myself to be swayed by people who had an agenda for writing those things. I tried slim-fast and You On A Diet and so on and none of them worked or they were pure torture to endure. I knew I could do the Atkins Diet so I decided a couple days ago to go back on it and I have already lost 2 pounds. I had to learn that Atkins is not about gorging on fat.

Thanks for the SCTA Club!

Question: Has anyone experienced difficulty in losing weight on Atkins while on acid-blocking medication for GERD?

Thanks

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

Hi everyone! I'm also a second timer! A few years ago, I had great success on Atkins...lost about 40lbs in 4 months...went on to OWL, but stopped there. BIG MISTAKE! So now I'm back after gaining all 40lbs back! And this time, I'll do it right! Tomorrow is day 14 for me and I feel thinner...haven't looked at the scales. They can be my downfall sometimes. I have "peeked" in on your forum for two weeks now and I sooooo appreciate all the support and advice everyone gives to others! It has made me so much stronger! I'm online at least a few times a day! THANKS!
