New to ADBB but 6 months on Atkins and 50lbs off so far!

[Michelle DJ]

Hi All,

Just found this great website!! So much support and understanding.

I have been on Atkins for 6 months now since 12th Jan this year. This is my third time on Atkins over the last 4 years, but this is the furthest I've got! Still have another 27lbs to goal though!!!
But now that I've found this website I'm going to change that sentence to
" ONLY have another 27lbs to go!!!!"
Having been on the diet 3 times before but never getting more than 20 lbs off (and then back on again!) The big difference for me on the diet this time ? - Its for life not just an event which I have always aimed at ie weddings, holidays, etc but for the first time in my dieting career I started this diet on a day other than Monday - and simply decided I'm going to lose weight and positively change my life for me!

Good luck everyone

MDJ
