So, this is my second go at Atkins. I did Atkins in 2003 and lost 40lbs in about 4 months. I went back to my old ways. It took about a year, but the weight came creeping back up again.
I tried to get back on Atkins a few times. But after eating all those bad foods again, I couldn't get myself to get back on it. I would start up for a couple of days and then just go back to eating all the carbs.
When I got married in 2006, I went on LA weight loss. A very expensive way to loose weight. I lost about 20lbs. Then after the wedding, I started to get lazy and quit following their program.
Fast forward to now. I started Atkins a week and a half ago. I found myself at the largest I have ever been in my life. I was eating like crap. Lots of fast food, lots of Pizza Nights and way too much Mountain Dew!
For the last year and a half, I have been having huge issues with my back. I have always had back issues, but in May of 2008, I had a disc go out in my lower back, I have been going to a spinal decompression clinic ever since. The disc is back where it belongs, but it still has it's days where I have a decent amount of pain from it. I am sure this is due to my weight. I know, since I started up induction, my back has already improved.
So I finally decided, I can't live like this anymore. I feel that I had the best luck with Atkins in all the dieting I have done. I am motivated to lose it and keep it off. I also am planning to start p90x pretty soon here. But the first week of induction has really kicked my butt this time. I am experiencing induction flu, I never experienced it last time, and some major headaches. I really am not ready to start working out untill I get through that.
I have noticed that the weight is coming off a little slower. I have lost 7.5 lbs, but I guess I can't really say that i have been on induction a whole week and a half, because about 3 days in my co-worker I was giving a ride home from work to wanted McDonald's and I gave in to the temptation, like I always had in the past. Then I realized that it didn't even taste that good, and I was so mad at myself for doing it. I decided after that, I will follow this diet, because I am sick of being miserable!
I am pretty sure that the headaches are caused by the lack of soda. I drank soda all day long and all night long. I probably consumed a 12 pack a day. I know that's gross, but I am a soda junkie. So, I completely cut it out of my diet. I went to diet soda at first, but I felt it was really slowing me down. So now I am just drinking water all day long. I feel alot better(except for the headaches).
So that is my story. I am hoping to lose about 30-35 more lbs.
