    Joining this group

    So I am returning to Atkins after about 8 months a way. My name is Amy I live in Louisiana and a mom, student, wife, and work from home. I oficially start induction on Monday, but have been focusing on not drinking soda, and drinking 96oz at least of water! I will be upping this with induction to at least 128 oz. I am ready to do this,in moving cross country , settling in etc...I slipped out of this WOL, this time I need to develop skills that don't allow me to "slip" out. I am going to go get a scale tonight, and will weigh and measure Monday morning.

    You will be seeing alot of me because I know these boards help keep me going! So nice to meet you all!

          Hi Amy welcome back. I'm new here too but not to this WOL/WOE. I lost 45 lbs 2 yrs ago and never reached my goal... just fell short by 10 lbs and with the Past holidays I regained 5 lbs and now I am back to reach goal and loose another 5.

          I wish you luck and I'll be watching your success.

                  So how are things going for you so far, Amy?
                  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!!

                    Re: Joining this group

                    Well I start induction tomorrow. I have gotten rid of all of my trigger foods, and have been getting in 96oz of water a day. Also, have eliminated pop! So I will weigh (went and got a new scale) and measure in the am...and start the rest of my life. Thanks for asking!

                      Welcome Amy, I am with you with stress/moving across country I didn't really slip I plunged/dove head first off the wagon and then felt like it was too much..I had regained too much. Finally my buns are firmly superglued to the wagon...not moving like a champion rodeo rider...lol

                      Good Luck with the start

                        Welcome back Amy! I'm like you, I lost 56 pounds on this WOE then, my beloved 13 year old dog died and I just started sliding down....I've been thinking a lot since then about stress and how stressful things are going to happen in all of our lives and when they do we need to learn how to comfort ourselves with something other than food! I still working on that one! Glad you are back!
