I so want this to work for me again! My husband and I began Atkins for the first time in November of 2002 on the advice of our physician. Both of us had great success. I lost over 70 pounds in a year. We don't know how much he lost because we don't know what he weighed when he began. He's been on it ever since, and is still doing well.
I was so committed to the plan, and had great fun planning and preparing meals. I felt great. Then one day, about a year into the plan things changed quickly. I got really sick and nearly died. It wasn't the plan that caused the problem. In fact, the doctor said that if I hadn't been eating all the protein, I wouldn't have healed as quickly from the surgery as I did. But it still took 6 months for me to heal, and I had to live in a nursing home for that period of time. They DEFINITELY do not do Atkins!
Anyway, I have tried to get back on the plan ever since. It seems that I can do well for a day or two, but the third day is terrible. I'm really good about drinking the water. This time I feel like I have the same resolve that I had at the beginning, and now that I found the ADBB, I have someone else to turn to for support.
I'm looking forward to getting back on the board each day.
By the way, can anyone tell me how to get a ticker added to my stuff? I went to TickerFactory.com and created a ticker, but can't figure out how to transfer it over to my postings on the ADBB.
