  • Woo- Hoo ! ! !

    I am so excited!
    As of today, I have been on Adkins 8 weeks.

    25 pounds gone ! WOO- HOO

    I haven't done my measurements yet today but will. I am weighing myself only on Sundays and measure once a month. (Although as of last Sunday when the scale showed no movement, I had to weigh myself mid-week)

    My experience in prior diets was that I would weigh myself daily which would then determine my mood and resolve for the whole day or even the whole diet. It became an obsessive, counterproductive task. I am slowing getting rid of that need.

    The Adkins way is so much better for me. I love it! I wish I had found it sooner.

    Beside the scale movig down, I think the other benefits to me are even more valuable. I feel so much better! No more carb crash mood swings. (My daily walks probably help my mood too!) No more cravings that dictate my every thought and action.

    I love, love, love this way of eating!

    This board, and God's grace have helped me so much! Thank You all !

    Congratulations, Pam!

    And good for you for paying attention to the benefits of Atkins, other than weight loss.

          Great start and congrats on your success! You might want to think about posting something similar in the Celebration Forum. It feels great to post there and you have much to be proud of. Maybe your story will give someone else the motivation to start or continue this WOE. Also, I see your status is extended induction. If that's working for you, great, but moving up the rungs could help with sustainability. 8 weeks is a long time on induction. I would hate to see you lose motivation like I have many times in the past due to not moving on. Anyways, this WOE is different for everyone, do what works for you. When/if you post in the Celebration Forum, try to give more details such as daily exercise, how you feel, problems you have overcome, and how your new found success has changed your life in a positive manner. You should post there, you've earned it!

                Thank you all so much. It does feel great! I really appreciate your comments and kuddos !

                and TJ. Maybe tomorrow I will get to post in the celebration forum. I didn't even know there was one. I snoop around the century club, 14 day induction, recipes, before and after pics and some people's journals.

                I'm too tired tonight to think any more.
