Day 1.......again lol

[BigSmooth]

**** to all. This is my 2nd go around with the Atkins diet. My first run was last summer where I lost 31lbs. However soon came the holidays and there went my will. That was the beginning of the end. I gained 15lbs since. So technically still down 16lbs.

Yesterday I started induction all over gain. And to my satisfaction i'm down 4lbs in 1 day.

Thanks

Welcome back! You know it works and while the first four pounds may be water weight, it is always a great boost to our soul!! Best wishes for success!

It seems as if you are off to a flying start, BigS

Re: Day 1.......again lol

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I hope to reach my mini goal of 10lbs in the next 2 weeks. I'm looking to lose 25lbs overall.

Wish me luck!!

Thanks again!

Re: Day 1.......again lol

Congratulations on coming back before you gained it all back. Maintaining a 16 pound loss is still great, I think!

Best of luck to you!

hi there...welcome back. I have made the same mistake as you, letting the holidays get a choke hold on me! I come here every day, even if it's just a few minutes to read posts...it's the best place to be when you're feeling like you might fall off the wagon.

Hi BigSmooth! I'm on round 2 of Atkins as well. I lost my will and slowly gained 40 lbs back of the 80 I had lost.. This time I'm sticking with it. It's easy because we know it works and we will succeed this time! Best of luck on your second journey. I will be rooting for you.

Really? Ive lived here for about 7 years! I did move to Echo Park for about a year but missed LBC. This is cool though, I'm up in LA a lot, we can talk restaurants here and what we eat thats low carb there! Welcome again.

Cool! I'm down with that. My favorite restaurants in LB are in downtown. Like the Yard House for example.....yet I cant go there, seems everything they have on the menu has tons of carbs!

George's Greek Cafe is great though, I get Gyros, it comes with rice pilaf and salad, but obviously I just get the salad. Sometimes I add a chicken skewer if I'm really hungry.
