Hello everyone. It's been a long time since I've been on here, about two years. I quit atkins when we were trying to get pregnant (not for any reason but just an excuse to eat). Well now we have a handsome 18 month old boy, and it's time for me to face reality.
I went to see a doctor for a while who was giving prescription diet pills, and they worked great for the first 3 months, but 6 months later, and the affect has worn off. I was taking more just to get the same affect. I finally called them and told them I was going off the pills, they were not working anymore, and I believe they were making me sick. Well, I had lost 20 lbs. on those pills, and now I am gaining it back. I am terrified of gaining it all back again.
Now I have been lurking on this site for about a week, contemplating going back on the Atkins diet, and always finding a reason not to. Today, right before going to work, I was looking at the before and after pics, and all of a sudden made the decision to go with Atkins. I had my lunch made, and went a changed it to a salad, and some boiled eggs for a snack.
I am determined to make it this time around. I have a gym now that I can go to for free if I can get someone to watch the baby (that's the hardest part in going to the gym is a babysitter). I love to work out now, and I have not done it in a while, but when I do, it always motivates me to lose weight, and this website. If I can try to visit everyday, then this might just make the difference.
I am thankful for this website, and to everyone who is brave enough to post their before pictures. I'm sure the after pictures are easy to post. I will be posting my own as soon as I loose some weight.
