  • A little late...

    Hi guys,

    I realized it was probably kind of rude of me not to introduce myself before I started posting, but I was hesitant at first anyway. So, here I am! My name is Kat, I'm 26, and I'm really trying to start and maintain a healthy lifestyle with Atkins. I have a 20 month old daughter and a skinny husband who is trying to gain weight. =/ (Think he can gain weight on Atkins?)

    I tried Atkins a couple times in the past, but never managed to stick with it. I started Atkins this time at the end of February but I kinda messed up a little here and there and recently started induction again for two weeks, which ends Friday! So far, so good. My start weight (In Feb.) was 130, and so far I've lost 9lbs. I'm between 5'3 and 5'4. I realize I don't have too much weight to lose, but I'd like to get to my pre-pregnancy weight of 115 at least. Also, I've had long-term problems with depression and terrible and frequent mood swings, but I have noticed some improvement since I've been on Atkins, which is really great news!

    I really, really appreciate all of your support and enthusiasm so far. I hope that maybe I, too, can contribute at least a little.

    Thank you =)
    Kat

        Hi Kat,

        Welcome Glad you are feeling better on Atkins already.

        I don't know if people can gain weight on Aktins - I'd be interesting in hearing the answer to that.

          Hi Kat! Welcome to the board. Can I ask what the picture is in your Avatar? It looks like a girl Panda lying on her side with a bow in her hair! But then I look again and it looks like a fish!

          Everyone's weight loss goals are different. It's all relative, you may need to lose 15 pounds and someone else 65. We're all here for the common reason of losing weight so it's great you've found us! Congrats on those 9 pounds lost so far!

          This board is full of some really great people. Consider starting a Journal for yourself at Journal Chats. Daily support and friendship is important!

            Hi kat, just dropping in to say welcome. As far as your hubby gaining weight, i doubt it lol, my hubby is one who cant gain weight, and would like to, and when i cook my food, of course he eats it, and then he also eats carby crap like pizza, and sandwiches with chips, so he gets my high fat, and then he gets the carbs and he still does not put on a pound!!!!
