Hi, I am new to this board, but wanted to share my atkins story with you guys to hopefully give someone some encouragement...
My family has a horrible weight problem, so I felt pretty doomed! Both my mom and dad and two sisters had the gastric bypass surgery and I wanted to do something about my weight before it came down to surgery!! So I looked into atkins when I weighed 223. On the first induction attempt, I failed.
Then I realized I really had to do something because my boyfriend and others were treating me differently and I had developed a really low self esteem, So once again I started induction...after two weeks I had lost 16 lbs!! I was sooo excited, so of course I had to keep doing it because hey! this diet actually worked...
I was 223 then and now I am 128 in a size 4, my goal weight was 150, but it just kept coming off and now I am extrememly happy with myself and the way I look.
You can do it!! You really can!! It is so much easier to do Atkins now then when I started because of all the "low-carb" menus at restraunts and items at grocery stores.
if I did it...anyone can do it!!!!
Remember:the easiest way is "Out of sight, Out of mind" remove all your breads and sweets from your home and load it with meat, cheese, and salad!!!
Goodluck!
