Started Atkins on January 1st
Hi, I'm Dee and I'm a mom of 7 (so far 
). I did Atkins a few years ago, lost some weight, but lost my enthusiasm and will power to NOT eat bread. 
Since then I've gone up and down between 185 and 150 (a bit more with a pregnancy in there, too). I did have a 20 lb loss on NutriSystem last year, but I couldn't afford to continue on it (I'm actually still paying for the two months I did!!!). I tried low-fat/low-cal again, but (big surprise) didn't have much success. So, I decided that I would go back to the only other diet that ever worked successfully for me and DIDN'T cost a small fortune: Atkins.
As I said, I started on January 1st with a weight of 172. This morning I weighed in at 159.5 lbs, for a loss of 12.5. I'm sticking with Induction a bit longer, but after reading some threads here have decided that I'm not consuming enough fat/calories. I'm going to go check out fitday today and see what I can do there. Since I'm at the point of just under 20 pounds to lose, I will finish this new week on Induction (for a total of 4 weeks) and then move into OWL.
Thanks for this great support group!!
