  • Hello

    Hi all,

    I did Atkins once years ago (about 20 years ago actually) did well on it, but fell off the wagon and never got back on. I still maintained the weight loss untill a few years ago. Then, silly me, instead of going back to what worked before...I decide to try another diet (fat flush). .

    Since I am here, it obviously did not work. Well I did lose some weight...but you certainly wouldn't have wanted to be around me while I was doing it, lol.

    So tommorrow I start induction, going to the grocery store very early. Got my list together and my book in hand. (Yes, I have the 2002 book. )

    Expect lots of questions, like I said it has been 20 years and my memory ain't what it used to be. I will attempt not to try your patience too much.

    Hubby is going on the diet with me, so that will be a huge help.

    Hello Di! Welcome to ADBB! This is a great place for support and inspiration!

    Good for you for deciding to re-commit to Atkins after 20 years! Better late than never!!! I'm sure you'll be successful. You're very wise to have armed yourself with DANDR 2002 edition. Understanding how this way of eating works is fundamental to success.

    Happy Atkineering!
    Before and after:

        Thank you. I do have the latest edition of the book but you can bet I will be asking lots of questions too.

        Well....I didn't exactly do it in a healthy way, but we won't go into that.

          Hi Di, glad you joined, and I'm glad you checked in to STAC! I'm here for the second time, my first time was not successful and NOT by the book...which is why I'm here again. This time I'm doing it right!

          ADBB has been a lifesaver! Everyday I learn something new or find a new way to challenge myself. I hope you enjoy the board as much as I do.

          Welcome!
