  • Starting Aug 24 and Looking for a buddy!

    Hi All,

    Name is Shellynn (shelly Lynn), I plan in starting this WOE and exercising on Monday. I have been on this on and off a few times and it has been a really, really, really, long time since i was on it last. I have been peeking in an out of the forum and have decided I should just jump on the wagon! I have the book, which I plan on re-reading and I purchased an atkins journal at Hastings which I plan to use .

    I am looking for someone who would love to buddy up . I have about 50-70 pounds to lose and will need alot of motivation. I am at the point of looking at the Lap Band or looking for medical help. I am hoping joining atkins again will help with my motivation so I dont have to take the other routes.

    In Jan I started a gym membership and was going 4-5 day a week for 45-60 minutes. I finally realized i was not going to get anywhere and decided to pick it up a notch. In Feb, I started 5miles/5days a week, and can u believe it I lost not one pound or inch. SO SAD! I hit a low and went back to my 30-60 minutes in March. In the middle of March I hit an extra low and finally said I am seeing nothing. I guess everyone who has had a low knows what I am talking about and knows where it went from there.

    Well here I am starting new and fresh, hoping to get my act together, lose weight, learn my nutrition facts, and watch my calories (i know its not required). In doing this I hope to turn around and teach my younger daughter (who has my body type).

    Hope to see everyone around!

    Hi Sellyn,

    You will find lots of buddies here, personally I dont believe they have to start the same day as you do so hopefully you just started on your own today anyway! and are on the first step to the new you .

    I started Induction on August 17th, so am on day 8 now I cant tell you how much weight I have lost as I am not weighing myself until day 14. As far as menus & recipies there are absoloutley hundreds here all sorts of delicious things look for the "never ending induction recipie" thread, and on youtube there is a chap called Bowulf who has documented his whole journey on Atkins and demonstartes a lot of his low carb recipies just type his name in youtube search. Always good to get some inspiration from.

    Post here often and you will soon pick up who you gel with, just like everything in life some folks you will be drawn to & others you will avoid SO good luck on your new WOE!
