  • Second time around

    Hi all! What a great board!

    Like so many here, this is the second time I've done the atkins diet. The first time was about 2 1/2 years ago. I wanted to lose 30 lbs and successfully reached my goal in about 6 months. I didn't experience any rapid weight loss during the 2 week induction, so I pretty much stayed on induction the entire time with just an occasional addition from the OWL allowable food list. I kept the weight off for nearly a year, then ran into some health issues and slowly fell off the wagon and eventually, by July of this year had gained all of the weight back.

    So, I started back on induction on October 31st and have only lost about 6 pounds, but I feel absolutely great! I am working out for 45 minutes atleast 5 days a week, following the plan to a T (I did have a bite of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, but that was it) and drinking lots and lots of water.

    Anyway, I just love this board and have been reading it for about a week now, especially the STAC. You are all such a great inspiration and I look forward to talking with everyone here.

              Hey eveyone,

              Thanks for the welcome and encouragement. I just know reading this board is going to play a big role helping me reach my goal. I am finally back to that place where I have energy again and reading all the posts here has me pumped! I'm actually getting ready to go to the gym to work out for the SECOND time today just cuz I feel like it, lol. So far, so good as far as staying on the right tract eating wise. I've got a piece of salmon and veggies waiting for me for dinner! Water, water water!!
