Here I go again!

[skygazer]

I lost 40lbs on Atkins in 2006 and then cheated at Christmas and am starting again and plan to finish this time! I only gained back 13. I thought the induction flu would kill me, but made it through. I have used Atkins off and on for 25 years and never went through all the stages. This time I'll be doing it with the stages. I also always just ate the meat and salad and this week I have been using recipes for induction and I expected to wake up to the stick not being purple and to my surprize it has remained purple! I had the spinach lasagna and a desert (for induction) and was so shocked that I'm still purple! This is much more fun than just meat and salad (which I do love)!! I love these boards,they are a great help. Most of the time I just read them but thought I'd post today.

Welcome back!! Variety is what makes it so much easier to stick to this WOL. I love that I have choices in what I can eat and its fun to be creative! I also like that I don't have restrictions on spices
