  • Atkins is THE one!

    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!!

    Hey Pamela! Congrats on your 99 lb. loss! That's awesome! I'm just starting out so hearing from someone else that lost so much is very encouraging. Hey, at least you found the ADBB now. Stick around and people here will support and encourage you on your journey to maintain the weight. I join you in your applause!

            Great to hear from a new big loser!

            Congratulations on your loss
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



            Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!
