Atkins is THE one!

[pamelalowe]

I applaude myself, thanks to the Atkins Diet! A year ago I weighed in at 245lbs! Today, I weigh 146! Went from a size 20 to a 10! It is the only thing that allowed me to have will power. Every other diet starved me to death, where the Atkins kept me full much much longer! The high protein takes longer to digest and you just dont get as hungry as often.
I do wish I had been involved with the forums during my induction phase. There were times I was afraid, my body took me for a ride in the beginning and I often wondered if I was causing more damage to me than the excess weight. I needed someone to talk to. My family said it was a dangerous diet and to get off of it but the lbs kept falling off and I REFUSED to change, no matter how bad things got. It was a long hard road to hoe, but here I am... I tell friends and family I have lost a super model (99 lbs) but there is still a super model left... Good luck to all of you!!

Congratulations!! Yes, I agree Atkins works and it makes you look/feel great. Become involved in the forums now. This is also a critical time when you need to learn to stay with the program and maintain your glorious accomplishment. Staying active and helping others who are striving for their goal will keep you focused and motivated.

We are so proud of you!!! THANKS for sharing your success!!!

You lost 100 pounds in a year! Totally AMAZING and Inspiring! How long did you stay on induction? I have 100 to lose (maybe more) and I just started 2 weeks ago.
