  • 1 year anniversary - thank YOU and Dr. Atkins...

    Today is my one year anniversary, and all I have to say is Thank you to everyone for your support, and thank you Dr. Atkins for this new way of eating....my new way of life.

    I've lost 32 lbs, and although I wasn't dangerously heavy, I was pushing 170 at 5'4" and growing.....non-stop...at age 28 I really wanted to do something about it. I haven't even had kids yet and did not want to start a family in an unhealthy state. I could see 200 on the horizon, it was coming...but I got the motivation and courage to try Atkins.....

    I read about a lot of different diets/ways of eating/etc...My BFF did weight watchers which was successful for her. I couldn't do the low fat no fat thing, NO WAY...too much of a meat and cheese lover.....Atkins sounded just right, minus the pasta I don't miss too much- sugar, grains, etc...I enjoy what I CAN have and I enjoy learning about new recipes.

    Thanks again everybody, I don't know a single person (physically here in my area) that is a low carb lifer....reading your stories, ideas, triumphs and struggles has really helped me. I couldn't have done it without you.

    I still have 5 lbs to go...but honestly I'm really happy where I'm at. I could care less if it takes years to get there!

    HUGS TO ALL
    AND HAPPY LOW CARB EATING

          Congratulations and you look great as well.

          What I know:
          1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
          2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
          3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
          4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.
