    Hi everyone


    Okay so I'm a 19 year old female from the UK and I've been on Atkins before, lost around 20 lbs quite quickly.. but gained some of a it back because of lots of different reasons
    Anyway- I recently decided to go on a diet again.. was advised with fresh fruit, veg, cereal, being careful with calories, all that stuff.. and I weighed myself yesterday and I've gained 7 lbs in over a week!!! I don't get it. At all. I've never gained weight at that rate, even when I was eating junk food. If I wanted to gain weight like that then I could have at least enjoyed it lol
    So yep.. fresh start now. I have much more determination than last time I was on Atkins and no more, lets say, distractions in my life.
    Sorry for going on so much and I hope you all have a nice day

      Heya RandomGirl... welcome! Glad you decided to re-commit to Atkins. It works! (but you already know that).

            Hi Randomgirl! Welcome to the board. Maybe you ate too many carbs on your other "diet"! At any rate, glad you're back with Atkins. You know it works!

            Don't come randomly to the board, LOL! Come around often so we can watch your progress!

              Re: Hi everyone

              Welcome RandomGirl! I so understand where you're coming from--I had gained a couple more pounds than my midwife thought acceptable between visits (I admit I was hitting the milkshakes pretty hard). So I gave up the shakes and followed her "healthy" diet (cereals, potatoes, fruits, watching calories and fat). My next visit, I had gained *twice* as much as before.

              So I figuied I'd ditch the cereal and return to something I *really* liked Which is why I'm here now LOL

              Glad you joined us!

                      Hello

                      Isn't it amazing how many people are still finding or coming back to Atkins after all these years? Gives hope.
