2nd time around - wish me luck

[Sonya Parker]

I started Atkins a month ago with 10lbs to lose. In the first 14 day induction , I lost 1.5 lbs but then I fell off for 5 whole days. And gained back even more.

Yesterday I started over and this time although the motiveation and excitement is not so high, my will power is much stronger (if taht makes any sense). Today is the 2nd day and there are a packet of M&Ms my someone left here at my deak, and alhtough I have a craving, Im not sucummbing to it.. I think the craving is due to the higher insulin still in my body form the carb fest I had a few days ago.

Wish me lcuk and encouragement. Any tips from 2nd timers is alos welcome

Cheers

Great that you are proactive in your weight loss journey. It may be slow at first but stick with it and resist temptations. YOU CAN DO IT! If I am prepared, I can handle anything, even the worst craving. Wanna post a sample menu? We can see what you were eating during those 2 weeks, might give us an idea of why your loss was slow.

Re: 2nd time around - wish me luck

You've already got some great tips.

I refuse to wish you luck. Luck has squat to do with it.

Instead - I'll wish you success
