  • Hey, I'm pretty happy!

    Today marks the end of my fourth week of being back on the wagon, and I'm down exactly nine pounds.

    To someone who might be trying this WOE for the first time, that might not sound like much -- but, I'm very satisfied.

    All of us here in STAC know that the second (or whatever!) time around, we just don't lose at the same rate as we did the first time. On top of that, I chose to not do two weeks of induction, and then work my way back up the rungs. I did a three day induction, and then hopped right back up to "berries and melons." I really felt that if I were going to stick with it, I wanted the variety of that level pretty quickly.

    Personally, I think it's paying off. I have a WOE that I can live with, with NO trouble, and I'm losing -- slowly, but losing!

      I love your thread title! I'm pretty happy too. My weight loss hasn't been a big deal yet, on this second time around, but I feel better and fitter. It's working. In fact, I'm really happy! Throwing smiles back at ya!

        I couldn't be happier for you. Happy that you are back with us and happy that it is once again working for you. Having the right attitude and knowing that others are supportive of your weight loss plan really helps. Atkins has helped me improve my health, my attitude and my appearance. I hope everyone listens to you and sticks with the program....cause we both know it really does work!

                Good Job and time to kick some carb butt! Remember the following safety rules:

                1. Have fun!

                2. Count Carbs

                3. Kick High Carbs butts!

                4. Then take names to remember what not to eat.

                5. If in doubt go to rule #1.

                    Chris, you are absolutely right about the second time around and not losing as fast. I'm having that problem right now. I'm down approx. 12 lbs. (doing a no scale challenge so don't know for sure). I started to get frustrated, but then remembered that I'm in this WOE for the rest of my life. I have plenty of time to lose 70 lbs. The main goal is to lose weight, not see how FAST I can lose it! So I guess you could say that "Hey, I'm Pretty Happy" too! I've lost some weight, feel pretty good, have wonderful people to chat with here on the BB - What do I have to complain about? All in all, I'd say I'm pretty fortunate!!
