  • Re Starting program and completely dedicated this time around

    Hi everyone,

    Well here I am again. I started Atkins for the first time in Febuary of 2003, losing a total of 45 pounds in about 3 months. I was completely dedicated and loving the programs benefits. I followed the program exactly as outlined in Dr. Atkins book. Then I got into a relationship and was distracted from taking care of my health. Now after a long journey of self realization I am ready to get back on track and stay there. I have been trying half heartedly for the past four months to have a clean/ no cheat induction. I have decided after reading this forum for a very long time to actually join and become an active member so as to keep myself on track. So that's it in a nutshell. I hope this forum is the extra push that I need to stay on this path for life.

      Hey, there! Welcome to the board.

      Your HW and CW mimic mine when I climbed back on the wagon after jumping off into a carb oblivian over a month ago.

      Keep your focus on your goals insight!

      Best wishes!

          apple, i like how you track your results weekly. it's strange to me that i've been on induction for 5/6 days with no cheats and the scale is not moving. yes, i have noticed that my clothes are looser and fit better but the scale does not register weight loss. is this typical? also, where are you losing inches from...all over? and, it seems to be taking me longer to get into ketosis...am i just not remembering my earlier successes correctly? am i kidding myself that i lost a lot of weight really quickly during induction my first time?

          thanks in advance for anyone's help.

            Welcome Janna,
            I think you will find this board very helpful to your success. Only other people on the same path know how hard it can be and can help you along. You have done this before successfully so I have no doubt you can do that again !!
            I am glad you joined us and look forward to seeing your progress. Why not start a journal so you can have a place to write about your day and keep track of your progress. Others can stop by and give you support.
