Re-starting Atkins Today!

[Arobinson4372]

I began Atkins in September of 2004 and between that date and August of 2005 I went from 270 pounds down to an amazing 195 pounds. I then had a hysterectomy and it is as if my whole body changed and the weight just stopped coming off which led to discouragement and eventually to abandoning this way of eating completely. I am now ready to commit once again to this way of eating. I know the weight will move slower than before, but can anyone that has re-started after having a hysterectomy offer any advice? All comments will be greatly appreciated. Also I would love to have a buddy to work with.

Happy lo-carbing to all!

Hey Ashlie!

Good to see you again,

You really did a good job when you lost all that weight, I'm sure you can do it again.

Hi Ashlie~



I restarted June 1st so today is day 5 for me. I also had my ovaries removed June of last year so we certainly have sudden menopause in common (if your ovaries were removed). At day 5 I can’t really tell you how this time will be different because of that . . . except that I do feel different . . . stronger and more determined.



I do want to say that I feel very good today . . . I feel happy and hopeful and full . . . a little tired still but clear headed. I’m telling you this because induction flu this time was especially severe and early and it almost got me. Even though I was expecting some withdrawal it still caught me off guard. I can barely believe that 2 days ago I had a severe headache and was shaking and throwing up. I wonder how many carbs are in Advil because that saved me.



Hang in there.
