  • Newbie here

    Hello everyone. My name is Aimee. I've tried Atkins a few times and it seems to be the best program for me. I'm a stress eater and each time that has been my down fall. My work was a big stressor and a main reason for failure. I'm now in a new position (a year now) and i'm doing so much better. My body, mind and spirit feel healthier and stronger.

    I started atkins July 30, 2007 so thats about 10 days. My weight before starting would flucuate between 190-188. I figured i'd just say 188. I havent lost a lot like previous times on induction but maybe this time it will be better because inches will come off. Today the scale read 182-yipeee. My pants fell a lil looser but I feel very bloated. I'm dreamin to be 150 and if i can achieve that then 140 will be the next step. I do plan on having another baby soon . I have pcos and atkins help me with my hormones and fertility. I hope to just live a healthier life style and if i do become pregnant i want to continue a safe healthy living lifestyle.

    Hi Aimee,

    Congratulations on the loss so far - you're off to a great start!! I am just getting back for about the 153rd time (I just give up after a couple days)! For me, this is the best way to lose weight - hope it continues to work for you as well.

          Thank you all for the warm welcome.


          Elsy- you look great! How did you do it besides LC? Are you exercising, if so how many times per week? I have a treadmill and a Tony lil gazelle . I just cant exercise in the heat. I live in Calif and the night are also hot. The front of the house faces the sun so it gets really hot and we have an old air cond. system that doesnt cool the room where my machine is. I'm going to find my 5 lb hand weights and use those for now.
          BTW- i see your from Washington. Are you anywhere near pasco, WA?
