    2nd Time Around

    Well...This morning I'm starting again.

    Last year I lost 40 pounds in eight months...and then got pregnant. I used my pregnancy and mild morning sickness (veggies grossed me out! ) as an excuse to eat whatever I wanted...So since last October, I've been eating terribly.

    This past week my 3.5 month old daughter, Jenny, gave me an excuse to start back on Atkins...she decided she no longer wanted to nurse (was only nursing once a day - I was pumping the rest). It was both heartbreaking and a relief...I'll miss the closeness of nursing, but am looking forward to breaking my addiction to carbs and getting the weight off once and for all!

    So here I am...Now if I can manage to get at least 64 oz (preferably 100 oz) of water down me today... I think I'll be off to a pretty good start...

    Next week I'll tackle exercise...ugh! LOL

    BTW...I LOVE the new format of ADBB!!!

    Welcome back April. Getting your water in is always a good start!!! I try to tackle one thing at time, the exercise is the last thing on my list right now. Seems like when you try to do it all at once its really hard and you get so overwhelmed!

    I wish ya luck and again welcome back

      Welcome back April
      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



      Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

        Hey, April! Way to Spring back into action! Get it? Spring? April? I'm so funny! OK. Maybe not. Way to go on your prior success doing Atkins. I can't wait to see you becoming less of a woman as you shrink again!

          Thanks for the warm re-welcome! It's great to be back on Atkins...I didn't realize just how much I missed this WOE and all the veggies...Now if I can just stay strong until the cravings subside...LOL

            Welcome back April! If you're worried about cravings, get some L-Glutamine and take 2,000 mg a day. Honestly, it works! And
