  • My first post. I just started today.

    Today, I started my Atkins Diet. I've always been a critic of it. But, after multiple attempts to lose weight with other diets, i've decided I might as well give it a try!

    Today was fairly easy but i'm not expecting it to be easy as time progresses! So, that is why I am here!

    I weighed in today at 264.4lbs.

    Well, here I go, everyone!

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

        Hi, Losingweight06,

        I was happy to read your posting as i too have just commenced on my atkins diet, yesterday to be precise. It is my second attempt at atkins - tried it for all of a month in May last year and was rather intent on cheating.
        Anyway, my battle with weight goes back light years and as i have evidently failed playing by my rules i have surrendered to another's - atkins.

        I am weighing in at 231 pounds.
        I hope we casn inspire each other along the way.

        Happy slimming!

              I highly recommend a buddy, too!! My very dear friend, Austlyn, and I started at about the same time last year, we hooked up over on the spotlight forum. Now we are very close and I know there have been many times when we would have tossed in the towel if it was not for each other. We PM everyday and discuss our life and our progress, we cheer each other on and dish out the tough love when appropriate.

              You are doing great by starting and I know you will be a fanatastic success!!

              P.S.
              I have them pajama pants too!

                          Welcome to the board and the Atkins WOE!! - Now for the important question, what do you wash your hair with to make it that shiny?? I totally need to get in on that, I have like, 500 things I've tried and can't make it be like that unless it's not humid, and I use the shiny stuff, and I spent an hour blow drying... blah blah. Oh, and you should know, you have a really great chin too.. Oh, all the things I wish I had.

                              Wow, you're very pretty. I'm glad you've started Atkins. I believe you will find success using this program.

                              You're right, though. Some days are going to be harder than others. Some days the scale (the hated contraption) will show a gain rather than a loss. But you are stronger than all those ups and downs, and as long as you are prepared for them, both mentally and physically, you will get past them and succeed. So come back here often, post your questions, and stay strong and follow the program.

                              I look forward to following you journey. Welcome!
