  • Day 2, Two Years Later ...

    Hi everyone! I was mostly a lurker and an occasional poster two years ago when I first started Atkins. I lost 20 lbs and then stalled. I became frustrated because I was trying to hard and the scale wasn't moving. Some of my bad habits crept back into my life (although potatoes, rice and bread were gone forever) and with those habits so did the weight. I had one last "eat anything, drink anything" splurge in Hawaii (mai-tais are a low-carb no-no!) and I got on the scale and saw that I gained a total of 14 lbs back .

    Tra-la-la-la-la. Back to Induction I go.

    BTW: This is a little off topic but ... WOW Moochicat! I remember you from when I started and all I have to say is: "You GO girl!" You are quite an inspiration to me.

      Thanks Tommy! I remember you too. Another "WOW!" from me . I have no clue why my post count is so low. I know I posted more back in 2004. Oh well, no biggie.

        Hi Robin, I lost most of my posts also. They clear old posts every once in a while for space and tech reasons.

          Welcome Robin.
          Hey better now than never right?

          This time stay away from the scale. There is no reason to be frustrated by it.

          You can lose entire sizes on ATKINS and see no scale movement at all.

          Just keep going. All the way this time.
