    I'm Trying Atkins Again Through ?

    I went on atkins in April of this year, did it for 5 weeks and lost nothing but, the stress on my knee. I can only say is that it doesn't hurt as much anymore. I didn't loose anything during my 5 weeks. I tried with 2 other people in the office. I've decided to try again through ??, I figured they can give me better insite on the choices of food and recipes. I hope to lose about 30 pounds by November, infact will settle for 31 pounds. So, I'm get under 200 lbs by 1 pound. I figured I've been @ 230 for the last 3 years, it's time to get down to my normal or healthier size. Plus then I can see what my body looks like after losing some weight, ok!! I'm looking to lose a 100 lbs. But, I figure in enough time I will, just need to be positive and keep updating my progress on the Atkins diet bulletin Board and eventually showing my results via photographs. Well, thanks for letting me share something about me with you guys. Hope to talk to some or all of you during my course of my weigh loss success and down the slump times.
    Best regards to all,

      Followed it to a tee. Gave up soda and started drinking only water, wereas friends drank diet. I ate salads, steak, chicken and didn't see anything go. Felt clothes get loser, but that was for about a week and never felt that again. My MBI is 37.0 and I'm hoping that it reaches 21 by the time I'm at my normal weight.
      Your pictures makes it seem that you are looking right at me!

        I'm making sure you're not cheating! I now how you feel, I've done many things to drop the extra guy i carry around. I noticed that food is 80% of the battle, don't forget to walk or run even if it's for a little bit. At my heaviest 270 my bmi was 44.9. I could bearly breathe but I started walking. It hurt so bad after just a few minutes. I wanted to quit but kept thinking quit here and you're dead! literally I was in my late 20's and was facing so many different illnesses and health problem related to me being so over weight. Hang in there and of course feel free to buzz me if you need support.

          SELF, thanks for the support. I am in my 40's and my health problems arose when my feet started hurting when I started running (in my early 40's), now it's knee problems. I figure if I can lose about 15 or 20 lbs, I can start walking early in the morning without having any breathing, feet and knee problems. It's one of many things I want to do for myself this year and since the year is 1/2 through. this is the best time to start. Thanks for you support, advise and help. I will keep you posted as I want to hear about you. Great weekend!

            Hi Lee, Welcome aboard!! Do you have Dr Atkins' book? Or last time you tried was only low-carb? 'cause I tried a low-carb diet before but I didn't understand the principles, the program itself either, and that led me to discouragement. Atkins is the most effective weight loss program ever (I've tried the rest trust me).. But I did my homework, I read the book first and a veil came off my eyes, I understood WHY I am overweight, WHY regular diets didn't work for me, The things I can't eat for now, the ones I'll never eat again to stay healthy, the way to stay slim, and the mistakes I should avoid to be succesful....

            There's this powerful tool in ADBB called "Review My Menu".. look at this at the Food Forum is amazing! You can post one of your typical day menus and atkins succesful veterans will review them for you. You'll love it!

            AgAin, welcome to ADBB and post as often as you feel like... with any questions or doubts (even if you think they're silly haha it happens to us all !! ) but it's better to ask and succeed than keep quiet and fail...

              I'm glad you joined in! If you have any questions, read the stickies and ask on the different forums. Somebody's always willing to help.

              Good luck, and I know you'll reach your goal if you keep it up. I've lost over 40 pounds so far and it has really helped so many things in my life. I'm in my 40's, too, and don't want to hit fifty being fat.

                  Hi happy! Danie and self gave great advice. I would also suggest that you let the tape measure be your friend on this WOL! Much of the time we lose inches, yet the scale doesn't show a single pound lost. Why? Because we replace fat with lean, dense muscle. This means our clothes our looser and we feel smaller, but may see little change in the scale. Don't hold too much stock in BMI, either. BMI does not take muscle mass into consideration. A body fat test will give you a better estimate of your health.

                    Thanks for all your support. Your pictures look amazing. Isn't it funny, that we put our weight on over time and when it comes off, we wonder where all of it went? Our skin is such an amazing thing on how it can stretch so long and then over exercise and diet it strinks to the size our body should be! Simply amazing!! I don't drink soda/pop at home don't even have it at home. My killer is WORK, we have so much soda/pop it's been my downfall after I gave up on Atkins in the middle of May and all of June. But, i've given it up and will continue. I have a small child at home and she doesn't drink soda/pop nor, do I drink it in her present. I just have to remind myself that I gained the weight in my mid 30's and now that I'm reaching my mid 40's its time to lose the weight. I don't want to look like a Nicole Richie, I want to look hot & sexy like Rene Russo in the Thomas Crown Affair!! So, here's to starting!
