  • Ok time for me to join in on the fun.......

    Hi There, I started atkins on Nov. 30th.....so today is day 4 on induction. I do have the book (had it for awhile) I've tried atkins a few times without success, mainly because in induction I spent my days EATING sugarfree jello and cool whip(yup a large whole container in one day), tons of cheese, salsa and sour cream and didn't excercise either.....lazy lazy lazy, I HATE to excercise, basically I hate leaving the house for any reason. This time I'm doing induction right and excercising (gazelle 30 min. a day), never had trouble drinking water cause I hate soda.

    I'm female 36 about 5'6 and about 200 (no haven't been on a scale in awhile dont want to cry) Ohhh ya and I quit a 2 pack a day Newport 100's addiction on Oct. 31st ......wooo hoooo looking forward to a healthy new me!

    I had the most amazing dinner last night and didn't feel deprived. Broiled tilapia with 1 oz. bourson cheese and a 1/2 tbs. mayo and a cup of broccoli......mmmm mmm good !

    welcome MsChrissy.You are right to focus on health,it takes the pressure or emphasis off what you are or not eating. The gazelle worked great for me and I would not be without one.Follow the food plan and I know you will have full success this time. Best of luck and make it happen.

        McCrissy,
        First of all, welcome to our family! This is the greatest place to receive support and inspiration. Before starting Atkins, I also quit smoking and that and the weight loss is the best thing that I could have done for myself. I feel better now than I ever did in my life.

        You have a great attitude and thats what I attribute to winning the battle. Please read the recipes and the menu plans in the book. PLAN your menus, exercise routine and keep a journal of your measurments and weight. This will be one of your greatest movitators besides coming here and meeting people who are doing it and making it happen.

        You can do it. Keep us posted on your success and if you have any questions, just ask!
        Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F



        Dedication gives wings to our dreams and keeps them in flight! In One Word...COMMITTMENT.

              You'll have LOTS of fun here! Guaranteed. I've lost 21 kgs in 14 weeks (46lbs) and gone down 2 pants and 3 top sizes already. I keep getting comliments! It's just lovely. I'vegot a long way to go yet but I"m determined to do it.

              Get exercising too - I used to go 'Oh No' at the thought of it and now I do my 45 mins art the gym at least 5 day a week and sometimes 6. Drink lots , don't get frustrated , and always ask the crew here , they are ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

                MsChrissy...welcome to the group. Exercise exercise exercise! As 2big said, it's mandatory. And it's mandatory for several reasons. You want to not only lose weight, but you want to be physically fit while you do it. Eating the Atkins way will do a large part toward the weight loss, but the ONLY way to be physically fit is to exercise. Good luck, hang in there, and come here to get your daily dose of help and support.

                    Analog....46 lbs. in 14 weeks that is wonderful, Way to go!!!!

                    Alpha wolf.......Yup I dove in, I'm exercising at least an hour a day. Feeling good but OMG more tired.....waiting for that energy everyone talks about.

                    Hi Cleo.....thanks for saying "Hello" I have read several of your posts......quite alot of great info. in there, and many laughs. Usually people get all serious when they give up Sugar, coffee, cigs, processed foods......I think it's important to keep your sence of humor. We can get thin with a smile on our face. Thanks for keeping it Fun!

                      Hello Ms Chrissy,

                      I just joined this forum today and will start Induction this Sunday. I am waiting cause I need to go shopping and finish re-reading the Atkins book again...I should have this book memorized. LOL.

                      Anywho...good luck with your weight loss and keep up the good work.
