Third times a charm......first time here
This is my third time on Atkins. I initially started in the summer of 2003 and lost over 60 pounds before stopping when I got pregnant with my daughter. I had initially thought I'd follow maintenance while pg but that went out the window and I gained over 50 pounds when pregnant. I breastfed her for 13 months, but started doing Atkins again when she was just under a year. I gained even more weight and was right back to my all time high when I started again. I lost nearly 50 pounds between August and December of 2005, when I stopped because I had breast reduction surgery. I just had such a hard time sticking to the WOE after surgery, and eventually I decided to try Weight Watchers. I did that for nearly 3 months and just played around with the same 2 pounds. I even exercised more than an hour a day 6 days a week.
So last week I committed to going back to Atkins. Since I started last Monday, I've lost 5 pounds (definitely less the 3rd time around, but I'm also 50 pounds less at the start). It's OK, I feel so much better already and the darn scales are finally moving.
I'm exercising as often as I can. Today I fell (I'm a real clutz) and I'm pretty bruised up so I'll probably have to take it easy for a wile.
Anyway, I tried another Atkins board before but found it very unwelcoming. I hope I can find a place here!
