I'm Back

[Lynsey]

I'm a former Atkineer and ADBB member who was one of those people who thought a litte cheat here and there wouldn't be my downfall. Well, here I am 18 months later back at the weight I started at pre first time Atkins, who just got her first lab work results back after returning to my old way of life (I'll be posting more details on the appropriate health forums) and they were not pretty. Just wanted to say hi to the second time around club, I hope to make ADBB my new homeplace and get myself back to being healthy and hopefully eventually reaching goal weight. I'll be starting an extended induction in the next couple of days (as soon as I get my grocery list together and go shopping). I'm hoping to find the support and encouragement I found here in the past and make Atkins a permanent way of life this time around.

Re: I'm Back

Welcome back, I am glad you are getting back on track. Be sure and let us know when you start and perhaps you can start a chat journal to track you low carb journey as well. It helps to write about it and keeps you honest.
I will look forward to seeing you post your start date and how you are doing, glad you are back !!!

I'm starting induction tomorrow (Sunday). I'm here right now tryng to refresh my memory on what some of my favorite meals were. I've always had fond memories of the time I was doing Atkins, I loved the food, felt good, felt satisfied, but for some reason when I start to write my grocery list, I can't remember what all it was I liked so much It doesn't help that I'm trying to remember how I used to make meals the entire family could/would eat while I maintained induction standards without cooking two seperate meals. I know I used to do it before, just can't remember what I did

Re: I'm Back

I had that same problem too! I can remember cooking extra veggies at meals to fill in where the potatoes or rice was for them. I ate soooo good. Felt wonderful! Cutting back for them too won't hurt them They'll never miss it.

Re: I'm Back

For me the easiest thing is to make pure meats and veggies for my hubby and I and adding a side for our son, ie, mac cheese french fries ect. I find the less elaborate the meals the easier on me and the better things go. I can also fire up the grill one day and cook up bags and bags of fresh meats for the week and it is fun to have a choice each meal of what we want. Just make the veggie and the side for our son and we are good to go.
