    I got my friend onto the Atkinsmobile

    I've been trying for months to get to her to just try it! I finally suceeded last week, and she's on day 4 and she's lost 11lbs already!!!
    I'm so proud of her! I've just sent her the link to this board so she's probably reading this, but I just have to share the fact that I'm so proud of her and I'm so glad she tried it out.

        That's awesome. I have started 3 people on Atkins. They are still going strong since summer. They all lectured me about how unhealthy it was until I gave them the book to read. It also helped when they saw how much I was losing.

                Well she called me all excited that she'd weighed herself and lost 5lbs, but when she showed me her ticker, I pointed out that she couldnt have been 95lbs to start with lol. She went back to the scale and realized she'd been weighing herself in kg not pounds, and had lost 5kg/11 lbs.
                I'm just happy for her. And when I told my mom today that she'd lost 11lbs, SHE decided to join us too lol.

                        Oh yah, I know those outcries of "I can't live without my pasta".
                        I always shrug and think well than stop complaining to me about your weight, hehehe.
                        Cause that's what they do, they complain and complain but don't want to do anything about it, even not working out, cause I always start by saying maybe you should start working out, naaaaaaaaah, they'd rather sit on the couch, mmmmmmmk, have it your way.
                        So yah, Steph and Michele, I am really proud you both had people joining in, cause really not everybody is to be converted sadly enough, now you got not only your own weight to be proud of, but also theirs, hehehehe, double-plus-good ;-)

                          My husband tried it last year with me - we both started the same time - and then he got sick - nothing to do with Atkins but you can't convince him of that. He accused me of trying to kill him - lol. He was really sick and was retaining fluid in his legs and so forth. The doctors think it was an allergic reaction to something - I highly doubt it was Atkins. Well - he fell off - I didn't. Now he is trying to lose weight again and doing the "low fat" thing and getting bored with it especially when he sees all the good things my diet consists of. My foods are so much more tastier than his. I am still working on him so we'll see.... Good job with convincing your family and friends. They will soon see how great this WOE is!
