Re: Round 2

this is my first day back on the diet. Make a long story short, I lost 50 lbs in 5 months 3 months on induction. Doctor argued with me on all fronts, I proved him wrong( BP went down,colesterol stayed level, lost weight,no mental problems), now he is hip to it. I have gained 40 back since I got off. Man it comes quick. The long term goal now is to lose 62 lbs and stay there or less.

Re: Round 2

Hi freeBbest. Welcome back, and welcome back to Atkins. The good thing about the second time around is that we know it works. It's much slower this time for me. It's OK though. I feel 100% better, and I'm exercising this time too, so that has kept me on a straight track. All carb cravings have left; that in itself is wonderful. I had lost around 70 pounds the first time and gained almost all of it back. I don't want to put in all this time and energy and just let myself go ever again, and ADBB has helped me do this again. I can tell you are ready to stick too it also. ~Babs

Re: Round 2

Welcome back freebBest -- this morning seems to be a bit quiet on our board, but be sure to check in as often as you can -- there's usually a lot of activity here and tons of support!

Re: Round 2

I get really discurraged when I hit a plateau, too. I feel like I'm going no where. I work out harder and tweak my diet just a little, and I can usually get through it.

Good Luck

Re: Round 2

Glad you're here. Stick around! Its nice to have the support when we hit plateaus or seem to not be going anywhere. But Babs is right, the best thing about the second time around is that we know it works. Just keep that in the forefront of your mind, and check in here often!
