Hello!

[LindseyClan]

Hello. I am Maggie. I am 32 and have a five-year-old stepdaughter and husband. I am trying to lose weight again on Atkins. I had lost 30 pounds doing it alone a couple years back, but then fell into the idea that with WW, I would be able to eat all my favorite foods in moderation. Well, that didn't work for me so I am back to the one thing that has ever worked.

Re: Hello!

Hey Maggie, welcome to STAC, I can totally relate to using another diet to still get what I want! In reality IT DID'NT WORK FOR ME EITHER! I did find what I was really looking for, peace with foods, freedom from bloodsugar crashes and fatigue and the crazies i get on sugars...
I don't want to go back to that, ever...I know you will be entering into places you have forgotten exist!

Re: Hello!

Thanks Jess! I knew when I switched I was making a mistake, but the holidays were coming and I knew everyone could relate to a "low fat, low calorie" modification diet cause they believe in them so I switched. HUGE MISTAKE!

Re: Hello!

Same here Maggie, I switched several years ago to low fat after doing atkins and ballooned up to 295. Except for a little glitch this past december (dang cookies....) back and a huge huge fan of this way of eating. It gets so addictive, veggies, whole fats, meat, awesome stuff!
