  • 7 days and 7 lbs gone!

    Just wanted to say I never ceased to be amazed by atkins.

    This is my restart after pregnancy where I fell off the wagon instead of going into maintainace. Ya, know, using the pregnancy as an excuse to eat whatever I wanted. We all have excuses but truth is, there is no excuse.

    I started out not as strong this time around. I dont think I pumped up for it as much as I did last time. I did set the start date a month in advance but the first 2 days were laden with cravings and headaches.

    Now that thats over Im feeling pretty darn good.

    I have learned not to tell ppl Im on atkins. Instead I just say I have cut sugar, white flour, and all refined carbs out. Tired of hearing ignorant warnings about atkins being dangerous. I lost 50 lbs and got healthy inside and out the first time around. I KNOW this WOL works.

    Just wanted to share my success!

    Hey Mindy! It's good to see you back. Congrats on the baby! Way to go on those 7 pounds, too.

    I still don't tell everyone I do Atkins. People are idiots where I live. They'll sit there and tell me how I'm going to die, meanwhile they're eating pasta and low-fat junk and I'm eating enough veggies for an army.

      Way to go on the loss!!! Keep it up. Ya I don't care what people say. I'll tell whoever I'm on Atkins and if they want to say something well hopefully by then I'll have read the book enough to inform them properly otherwise I'll just give them some smart *** comment:P

          Keep up the good work
          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!
