    New to Forum

    Hi guys,

    I'm a 25/Male in NYC. Currently, my weight is fluctuating around 281 to 286 daily. I started at 337 since last year, I forget the date.

    Anyways, I'm not new to Atkins. I started atkins at 311 and have seen the amazing results. The problem with me is staying focused. Last couple of times that I lost focus was when I cheated just a little, and then it fell apart. Very disappointing.

    I have been focused pretty well for the past few days and want to use this to help me get down to my long term goal, which is 200s.

    I hope to learn a lot from you guys, I've looked through so many success threads and they are very very inspiring and you guys look great.


    Here's to a brand new start,
    Cheers

    Welcome to ya!

    Hello Kinyo,

    Welcome to . I am new here too (it is my fifth day), but I have already lost weight and I feel so much better. I am sure you will be a success story in no time (I want to be).

    There is so much support here; it is helping me every day. Try starting a journal and you will quickly see how great people are around here. Check mine out "Quest for Onderland".

      Heya Deb,

      Thanks for the reply! I will definately start a journal and try to post in it as much as I can. I've looked through many other Atkin forums and this seems to be the best out of all of them.

      I was atfirst skeptical with Atkins until a friend encouraged me to try it. When I reached ketosis stage, the weight dropped off pretty quick, I was amazed. My family couldn't believe at the stuff I ate and that I still lost weight. It was so awesome.

      Can't wait until I get to ketosis this time around again.

            Thanks for the support Gaynora

            Deb, I've never experienced ketosis breath. I used the ketostix and just measured the levels of ketosis from there.

                  Grinning ... the keto breath! Hmmm ... that's deadly. It's like something died in your mouth and stayed there for 6 months without you noticing and suddenly: WHAM!!!! You develop this Atkins Super-Power where can you clear a room at 50 paces just by BREATHING ON PEOPLE. Laughing. Okay .. I'm exaggerating. But when the keto breath thing kicks in you will notice it. Funnily, my partner says it really isn't that bad - but I think it's noticeable. I keep a bottle of mouthwash at work for when I'm seeing a client.
                  But I have to say it's better than my previous super-power! Want to know what that was? So glad you asked? I used to think I should be renamed MOSES - 'cos I had the ability to part the seas. I'm not kidding. I was so large that when I got into a bath, my butt parted the waters into fore and aft. It was so cleanly separated I could literally use a jug in the front water and rinse shampoo out of my hair into the back water ... and they NEVER mixed. I DON'T MISS THAT. Keto breath is a doddle compared to MOSES BUTT! He he. Well ... I hope I have made you smile. And ... should the keto breath kick in ... remember there are worse things in life ... like moses butt!!! Lotsa luv to you.

                    Haha Gaynora,

                    Interesting. Guess I can carry around some Listerine with me and have some sugarfree gum.

                      I see you're from the UK, keeping up with the action at Wimbledon so far? A shame Tim Henman lost I've been pulling for him as of late to make a nice fairytale run, but he lost yesterday.

                        Poor old Tiger Tim! It's got to the stage where it's a bit amusing. I kinda don't keep my hopes up for him at Wimbledon. It's like he has the Wimbledon curse or something? Bless him. luv to ya.

                          Hi Kinyo, welcome to the board! Bad breath/nasty taste is a good thing! It most likely means you're into ketosis which is great!

                          We have a men's forum (access only) that you might like to check into. You can pm richt and he will grant you access.

                            Gaynora, Ive been cheering for Tim for quite some time. Its always good to see him win, but its sad to say his career is coming to an end soon. He's such a nice person too, very sad.

                            Sillygirl, thanks for the welcome, and access to the men's forum would rock. Thanks a lot.
