  • Starting again :(

    Hi

    I'm 22 years old and i am starting Atkins for the 2nd time.
    I tried it before and was doing well, lost 20lbs in a month or so but ended falling on hard times and failing somehow.
    I gain alot of weight several years as a child as i suffered from clinical depression and spent several years sitting and eating junk, with my parents help
    Anyway starting again now, I have finished my exams and got myself a new job so alot of the pressure is off of me.
    I weigh 280lbs and i am 6 feet 2 inches tall. I have a holiday at the beggining of September this year and i hope to lose as much as possible before then. My goal for then is 220lbs, thats 60lbs in 4 months, sounds impossible but i will try my hardest.
    I have lost my copy of Dr Atkins book and will be getting another one as soon as i can but i have already started induction (on 5 days ago) and i am doing my best.
    I still find it hard to belive that a diet that allows you to eat bacon, steak, cheese, chicken and so many great things can help you lose weight, but this site is proof, it works. I find reading all of your success stories really inspiring and thank you for sharing them.

    Anyway thank you for reading, sorry i babbled so much

        Welcome! You can definitely do this! If I can, anybody can!

        I think 60 pounds in 4 months is attainable. I'll be quite near that amount of loss when I reach my 4 month mark, and that's even with refusing to exercise for the first 2 months after I started the Atkins way of eating.

        If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to come here and ask; somebody here will definitely know the answer or be able to point you in the right direction.

        GOOD LUCK!

        I did Extended Induction from 1/3 to 5/9 (2006) and lost 55 pounds, so I know I can do it again!
