  • You all are awesome!

    Hey everyone-

    I am new to this forum, but I think I spent 3 hours last night reading thru a lot of the post, wish I would have had more time to read all, but got pretty tired.

    Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that your awesome and you have so much advise to give to others :joy . Well, here is my story. This is actually my 3rd attemp at the Atkins diet. The first time, I did really well..lost 28 pounds in a month and a half, then got recentful seeing others eating what I wanted and cheated..Fell off the wagon. The second time around I made it maybe 3 days. I know, thats horrible, but this time around, I am finally commited and I think with your help, advise, and inspiration, I am going to make it.

    The Atkins is really the only diet where I have not felt hunger and wanted to eat every 5 seconds, plus you can lose weight pretty steadily. I have several reasons for starting again. I found out that I may be pre-diabetic and I constantly keep sinus infections, plus numerous small issues. The doc told me that if I can get the weight off, my health issues will go away. So, I am game...believe me, I do not want to be diabetic.

    So, please keep in touch, I love reading comments...and hey, thanks for being here for me!

    Amanda

    Welcome to the board Make sure you have your book as we go by the book around here. Read the stickies and FAQs as you will get a lot of information from those. Think about joining some of the challenges. It can help to keep you motivated if you are accountable to someone else. Also journal everything you eat. Alot of us use fitday.com because their tool is fairly simple and free and you can get a lot of information about what you eat.
    Again Welcome and I cannot wait to hear your success stories.

      Welcome to the board, Amanda!

      Look around and make yourself at home. Ask questions, and let us know how you are progressing. Everyone here has been where you are, so we know what it's like.

      Post an introduction in the Spotlight Forum. And look around at some other forums which may interest you. I would highly recommend the Before & After Picture forum, it is a great source of motivation.

      Good luck!

                      So proud of you way to stick it out and JUST DO IT!! I like you started restarted, restarted, restarted I could go on and on. Evry time I lost but, I would hit a stall and fall off. This time I have hit several stalls and kept at it and I have been rewarded big time for my patience. I'm sure there are lots here with the same stories. This time the difference is I am ready and I am doing this for ME nobody elese. I am happy to see you here and we are all 100% behind you.
