    So worth it!

    Hi all, I just finished my 2 week induction and I just have to praise all the benefits of this WOE. 12 lbs gone! I am wearing the same outfit I wore 3 weeks ago ... I was embarassed to be seen in it then, afraid one of the buttons on my shirt was going to pop off! Now, the shirt is loose, my pants fitting a bit more loosely. My favorite pair of jeans are waiting for me in my closet, another week or two and I'll be in those again!

    The benefits go beyond loosing ... I have so much more energy, I am regaining self-confidence, the man in the mirror is starting to look like me again!

    I am so glad I found this board! This is my 2nd time on Atkins and I know this time I will succeed because of the wealth of knowledge and the support this forum provides!

      Thanks Lauren. I actually found it by accident. I was googling trying to find some kind of site that I could track my progress. When I first did atkins I recall a MyAtkins section on the Atkins site (doesn't seem to exist anymore if it ever did). Anyhow, once I started reading through the posts here I was sold =)

                  Woohoo for those 12 pounds gone
                  Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                  Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



                  Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

                    12 pounds is fantastic! Congrats!

                    I found this site the same way--I googled "Atkins Diet" and this popped up. I started reading posts and I was hooked!

                    Glad you've joined ADBB, keep posting.
