  • So Thankful

    Hi everyone,
    I was on Atkins about 4 years ago, but after losing about 45lbs and NOT going through all the phases, gained them back. Then last year, I joined this forum and lost about 10lbs and then AGAIN went back to my old way of eating. Now I'm back and really serious about Atkins. I re-started in February and have lost 12lbs...have about 35lb left.

    I wanted to let everyone know how very important this board is to me. I read it several times a day to keep me on the right track. Everyone is so encouraging and supportive! It is amazing to me how clear my mind is now without all the high carbs and sugar. And the recipes are great! I even got through my office bringing in Krispy Kreme doughnuts (HOT!)-which was a huge deal for me....but I didn't touch a one. So far, I haven't cheated. I keep seeing the new healthier me in my mind!

    Thanks for listening...I usually just like to read all the great responses and questions. But I thought I would send my message today...plus, I got on the scales today and weigh less than 200lbs-I'm 197. After all the temptations I've gotten through the last week, I'm proud of myself and wanted to let others know it. I believe all of you are great and so supportive! Have a wonderful Easter!

    Hello Ashley'smom,
    First, Congratulations on the pounds lost! Fantastic! Welcome back to Atkins .
    Also, Congratulations making it to Twoville! You are well on your way to getting back to goal.
    Good for you getting through all the temptations. I'm proud of you!
    That's really important to keep a mental image of a healthier you and carry it with you everyday. It's what gets me through each day when I do that. This truly is a lifestyle and not a diet. A way of eating for life!
    Wishing you a great Easter!

      Congrats on leaving the 2's behind!! What an awesome feeling that must be!!

      I'm in the same boat as you, I did well on Atkins a few years ago, then got away from it and gained most of my loss back. I never really left induction, except in the very end, and I got into the rut of eating the same things all the time.

      (I'm so pork-rinded out from my first time on Atkins, that I don't think I can even look at one! )

      Good luck!
