And it certainly doesn't hurt your love of the book that you're a success story in it either.

The truth comes out...

Re: New Atkins for a New You - anyone have it?

I don't understand why that matters in the least... It is 2 pages.. Nothing more. It is just to help someone who was in my shoes.. Do you really think I love that my weight is out there for all to see?

If you were in DANDR 2002 Would you like it less, promote it less?
No.

I have not mentioned my name here at all. So No one would know it was me unless you told them.

The only people who seem to be interested in promoting me, Is you...

Not me.. All I care about is Atkins and that people understand it and make a plan for their lives...

atkinsgal, I think that's a pretty big leap. None of us is in Baylor's head, so none of us could possibly say for sure whether her enthusiasm for the book is colored by her story being in it. I just don't see where you have a rational, fact-oriented basis to take a shot at someone's character like that.

But what atkinsgal08 posted is a fact. And Baylor just happened to start posting here as the book came out.

Re: New Atkins for a New You - anyone have it?

I have posted before.. I don't post often but I do come and read a lot.

It really bothers you that I am here at all and I don't know why.

Is this book in accordance with the New Atkins Diet Revolution new version?

Did they change anything from the Dr. Atkins Diet?

The only fact in evidence here is that Baylor is mentioned in the new book. The rest of atkinsgal's post was implied speculation, not at all based on fact.

Re: New Atkins for a New You - anyone have it?

Some things there are more options but really the core plan stays the same.. There are many more options for Vegans too.. A nice addition!

atkinsgal08 said the above. They are both facts.

Re: New Atkins for a New You - anyone have it?

I would love the book if I was not in it or not.. I read all my Atkins books all the time. I get something new from each one.. I love knowing as much as I can about Atkins.

I really think that that is what helped me lose the 95lbs and keeps me going. If you arm yourself with all the information available about Atkins, When things comes up you know just what to do.. Whether it be a stall or a food choice, or how long to stay in a particular rung.

I have long been an Atkins supporter..

Again. I have not said one word about me being in the book. I have not offered any information that would promote anything about me personally.

This is more about me even being here.

Re: New Atkins for a New You - anyone have it?

Hi Baylor,

Congrats on your weight loss.

But I am wondering why you suddenly decided to pop in out of the blue?

You posted here once in Nov after you joined, and then not again until yesterday.

And all your posts yesterday and since then have been about the new book. And now I find out you are featured in the book. Good good for you...but...

I don't see how in any other way you have been here to help others in their journey since you are a "success", and should have a lot to offer...except to talk about the new book.

How are you here to help others, show support, and answer questions, especially since you are now so experienced, since that is what the ADBB is for?
Maybe you should have told us your were in the book right in the beginning???

[Baylor]

Re: New Atkins for a New You - anyone have it?

I don't see how it matters.. I really don't. I read most the threads.

I actually come here a lot to read. I love to read all the success stories and see peoples progress.

I was here yesterday and someone asked about fruit, I made a post.

Today, I saw someone else had posted about the book and so I replied. I did not come here to make a post about the book. I am excited about the book for sure, As I am with any information on Atkins.

What I don't understand is all the hostility. Is this not a public forum? Am I posting against the rules?

If one of the other success stories came here from the book and posted wouldn't you be happy?

I was thrilled to have contact with Kim who was on Good Morning America with her story about Atkins.

This is about people who do not like me annoyed that I am on their playground. I am not posting all over or hitting each thread with advice.. I am just sticking to talking about the new book.

Again, No one would know it was me unless AG AND TO mentioned it.

They are bringing more attention to it than I am. I was perfectly happy to talk about the new book in an intelligent discussion..

I get no profits from the book, I get nothing more than a hope that when people read my story it will help them stay motivated and see what they can achieve by embracing Atkins and making it their lifestyle.

Re: New Atkins for a New You - anyone have it?

Wow! Just wow. What a shame that what started as a great discussion on the new Atkins book has turned into a character assassination.

Personally, I think it's kind of nice to "know" some of the featured success stories in the book. I don't really give a flying flip if any of the success story people "suddenly" visit ADBB with new insights. Yes, I know ADBB goes by DANDR but come on folks, it's not like Baylor (or any of the others if they are here) are trying to make us do WW or something. Isn't it quite possible that the new book may have something to offer that isn't covered in DANDR? Being close minded or hostile to new knowledge doesn't help anyone.

Re: New Atkins for a New You - anyone have it?

This is going way too far!

Please do not make this a thread about Baylor. It is supposed to be a thread were the new book is discussed, not Baylor.

Can we go back to the original topic now?
