  • 3 months in....31 POUNDS gone!!

    I've been doing this for 3 months now. I started on March 11th, and I can honestly say this is the first diet I have EVER stayed with this long. It's not easy but it IS easier (I think) than the others, and like most of you, I have tried them all.

    I have been going to the rec center three and four times a week and walking for a half hour on the treadmill. I usually take it slow, as I am still obese and I don't want to push it. I told myself that once I hit my 30 pound mark, I would add weight training. So just this week, I've been doing some of the weight training machines. This has been a tough week. I mean, I am working HARD on this, and I am trying less and less to notice that I am the biggest person in the gym. But I keep telling myself....it WILL NOT always be that way. I'm staying strong....I'm hanging in there with this.

    Good for you for getting to the gym and exercising

    I am glad also to hear that you are finding Atkins not to hard to stick with - I agree, it is a way of eating that is not as deprivational as low calorie/low fat 'dry rabbit food' ones
    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!

            Barb, That's impressive progress! Way to go! I love these positive posts.

            And I completely agree that it is 'easier' than other diets.
