  • I think I'm back for good...

    Hi all. I have a different story than the typical "I'm back" or "I'm starting again" threads. I did Atkins in the past with good success. I've never been overweight, but had gained weight from medical conditions. I started it again before Christmas and liked it again. Anyway, I had to go "off" for medical reasons. My doc and I were testing some theories and I couldn't do Atkins to the letter. The diet was the traditional "healthy" diet with a balance of carbs and protein and some fat. It wasn't to lose weight either. Anyway, I'm glad I did that because it just helped reiterate that I just don't do well with grains. I actually don't seem to do well with a lot of fruit either. I am much much better medically now and I am convinced that this way of life is really whats best for me. I need high fat because it helps my medical stuff actually.

    So I'm just reintroducing myself. I'm 32yrs old next week. I am currently 145-148lbs and 5'7". I need to lose about 10 lbs to get back to what I was before I was sick. I have been working out for awhile now, but was a slug for 2 yrs while I was sick. My exercise routine consists of 3 days a week of intense strength training and 3 days a week of moderate cardio with high intensity intervals worked in. That's the minimum. On top of that I walk 30-45 minutes daily and also throw in extra cardio when I'm up to it.

    So that's me. I hope to get to know you all better. Thanks for reading.

    Bree, your perspective on Atkins is so welcome here!

    Above all, it's about regaining our health.

    So glad you joined us!
