  • I'm New Too

    Hi everyone!
    I'm new to this board...but not this WOE. I guess I'll tell you a little about myself, without being too egocentric. I'm a 21 year old psychology student and I've been overweight since I can remember. I've seen pictures of myself from age 2 and up and I was chubby since then. I never found out what might be physically wrong with me, but I know that Atkins is basically the only diet that has helped me lose weight. Even though it works great for me, I find it very hard to stick to the program for more than 2-3 months. Last time I lost 40lbs...and then gained it all back, plus 10 lbs. So, this time I am here to stay, and I figured I needed some support in order to do that. As a psychology student, I know the importance of social support, so that's why I'm here!! Somehow I think this time is different and I don't want to go back to eating terribly. I've made a pact with myself...and now I'm making it to you...so feel free to kick my @ss when I'm not sticking to it! I know you guys can help me and I hope I can help you too! See you on the boards.

          Welcome to our ADBB family Danie :wave
          When you lost weight on Atkins last time did you stay on induction till you reached goal and then go back to 'normal' eating? If so that is probably one reason that you have put weight back on :sadblinky
          Hopefully this time if you follow all four stages of Akins you will find it easy to stay at your goal weight for life :joy
          We look forward to sharing in your progess :hug
          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!
