    Had a reality check and am back again!

    Hello!

    Its been awhile since I was on this board. I have always struggled with weight and eating and my weight has now ballooned up to 250 lbs. I am ready to put the past behind me and am looking forward to a healthy future!

    I still have my atkins book and have reread it and I am planning to start tomorrow!

    Thanks for taking the time and reading this...

    You were really smart to re-read the book before restarting so that you are fully prepared. It sounds like you have a great plan for success this time around.

    Best of luck to you. Let us know how your first day goes. I know it will be great!
    149.8/no weigh/ 119



    1st goal: 139 (earlier weight)
    what the rungs mean to me:
    rung 1 - more veggies
    rung 2 - dairy (some milk in coffee)
    rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
    rung 4 - berries, melon
    rung 5 - wine -
    rung 6 - beans, hummus
    rung 7 - other fruits
    rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
    rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
    Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range
    (on to pre-maintenance)

      Welcome back DEET. This time focus on the healthy and not the skinny and take your time. Its a marathon, not a sprint (thanks whoever posted that line--so true)
      JILL

      HW 298
      HW (this time) 248
      GOAL ONE 228       (take 2)
      GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
      GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
      FINAL GOAL 165

       It's not about the results. Its about the process.

            Hello! Sorry I have not been updating! Just getting over the flu I tried to stick to Atkins but honestly didn't eat much while I was sick. I am feeling well enough to stomach more protein so let's see how this goes!

            By the way, is there an induction approved soup recipe?

            Thanks!

              Sorry to hear you've been sick. You might want to check this thread for ideas: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...alescense.html

              But right now it's important that you get better, so try to eat something and keep yourself hydrated. Once you feel better, you can worry more about weight loss.

              Plenty! Did you try Linda's website: Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Soup Recipes ? The Induction-friendly recipes are marked with an asterisk.

                  I am sorry too.
                  I like an egg drop soup myself. But yeah focus on your health and then we will talk shop again.
