    Hello..Starting Over Again...

    Hello everyone,
    I am not new to this diet, but starting over again, as of today, which is the 2-9-08..
    I have many plans for the up-coming future or new year, and need to lose as much as I can. I hope that I can get to my desired goal once June comes around. Right now, my weight is 190.0. I would like to get back to my normal weight two years ago... at 125.. I have tried many times to start this diet and stay committed to it. But I guess it never works. I find myself slipping away and gaining on the lost poulds again. However after reading all of the successful stories here. I would like to try it again. I know atkins works and I know I can do it again. Well, I will be posting results after one month. Wish me LUCK...I need lots of it.

      Well..its been very tempting...but being that its my second time on this diet, I notice that I have a little more energy than before. Don't worry together we'll get through this and achieve what others did... keep me updated okay.

        Re: Hello..Starting Over Again...

        Good Morning !! Yesterday was my first day of induction. Sadly, I also got a yucky cold. I still did well. My net carbs were 19.2.

        I have been reading the forums and I just love this place. I can't wait for my pants to fit again. I went over board with my Holiday eating this year. Well I do that every year but this is the first year my clothes wont fit. I can't afford new ones so I am very hopeful that Atkins is for me.

        Thanks for the support.

        P.S. Do you know how I can get a ticker timer?
        Lots of Luck ~ April

                      Welcome back! We're glad to have you!

                      Just a tip - I noticed you wrote "My net carbs were 19.2" I always want to give advice to others to not make the same mistakes I do. Even though things like sugar free candy, you're supposed to be able to subtract the fake sugar and have net carbs of 0, TOTALLY DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. There's TONS of stuff out there, even with the atkins name on it - and in general, my body responds to the gross amount of carbs, not the net.

                      So - if you happen to stall in your weight loss along the way, that's something to keep in mind.

                      Stick around here, and you'll learn bazillions of tips on how to make this lifestyle run like clockwork! Good luck - we're glad to have you here.

                        I'm the same way.

                        The first time I did Atkins, I lost 51 lbs. But anytime I so much as TOUCHED Atkins-brand products or other "Sugar Free" or "Sugar Alcohol" products, my weight loss either HALTED or went UP. The minute I discontinued their use, the weightloss flowed again. It didn't matter if I was at 15 net carbs - it stopped if fake sugars were involved. My friend, who lost 46 lbs and has kept it off since, found the same trouble and bypasses these altogether or her weight crawls back up.

                          LOL thats so how I am. And I refuse to buy more clothes for my bigger size. I'm like, "NO. I'm just going to have to look terrible and awkward in THIS stuff until I lose the weight to get back into them."

                          I think my big "ok, start now" was how painful the waistband on my work slacks was becoming.
