44 year old Atkins Drop out...
I am considering myself both and Atkins sucess and failure. The WOE never failed me once! I have failed at it because of various factors but they all lead back to my self and lack of resolve. I started the plan 03/06/2004 at 315 pounds or so. I stayed on the plan for well over a year and a half. I was doing pretty well and had gotten down to just under 260 (258 to be exact). I started to run again and was feeling great about myself and the weight that I had lost. I started reading more and more running resources and they all were bashing the Atkins way of eating left and right. I had also changed shifts and was in with a crowd that also thought I was nuts. I basically slowly but surely changed back to the crummy "normal" American diet and I've paid greatly for it. I'm sadly back up to 290 pounds and am just sick of my self. I got injured while running (a combination of that and my job as a yard only truckdriver) and the weight just silently piled back on. I say silently, but I heard it loud and clear. I'm planning a start date of the 1st of next month. I know the problems that I had before and they are really something to look forward to rather than dread. I am alone in this, this time as everyone who was doing Atkins is now on to other endevours or are no longer around. I'm doing this for myself and really need to stay involved in a group like this for support that I do not get in real life.
