    New to ADBB, but not to Atkins

    Hello everyone. I just found this board. I am happy I did. I really needed to see some of the before and after pics. I need that inspiration. I have been on and off the atkins diet for about a total of three times. I keep on getting off. This time I am gonna stay strong and hit my goal.

    I set my goal at 220. I 1st started doing the diet 9/04 till 2/05 I went from 345 to 293. I then regained casue I was piggy out. I went back up to 305 when I started back on the diet again from 6/05 till 9/05 where I went down to 283. Then all **** broke loose and I went back up to 318 lbs. I started the diet again on 1/17/06 weighing in at 318 lbs. Today, 2/8/06, I am at 301. I still need to drop 81 lbs for my goal. Wish me luck.

    I hope everyone on this board meets there goals. Best of luck to all.

    Well I was about 345 here.


    This is me around 293. (the black shirt is deceiving makes me look slimmer than I really was in the pic)

    Dan,
    I don't know if I like all that softdrink in the picture behind you! LOL

    Good for you for coming back to the Atkins WOL.

    It's a constant struggle for us to make this a permanent WOL. It's not easy, so we must rememebr that and be vigilant! We are human after all!

    Good Luck!

        Congratulations on all of the success you have had on Atkins in the past. The good thing is you know it works and YOU CAN DO THIS FOR THE LONG HAUL!
        I have friends that have "Atkins bounced", as I call it, and the one thing I have noticed witht them is that they try to stay on induction until they just can't take it anymore and then just say "forget it!". I try to encourage them not to be scared to come off induction (after at least doing a successful 14 days, of course) and work their way on through the Atkins program, adding healthy carbs as the book advises. You still continue to lose weight and keep some fun into your eating routine. I think you will be much more satisfied and dedicated to staying on the program.
        Also, don't forget to drink the water and exercise regularly. VERY important!
        You can do this. I can't wait to see more pictures! (I am going to learn how to post them myself one day!)
