    Second Time

    I just thought I would stop by and say hi. This will be my second time starting Atkins, however, I won't actually be starting until probably Wednesday or Thursday (I am waiting for my book to come in, I lost my old one in a move). The first time I followed Atkins, I make it through the induction and lost 6 pounds and then I continued on until the start of summer when I sort of just let myself go. I hoping to stick it out for the long run this time.

    I look forward to getting to know everyone.

              Welcome back Brittany! ooh, I can't wait for your book to arrive also! Read it and then re-read it. I know induction is food limited and boring, that's why we bump up to OWL (ongoing weight loss) according to the food ladder. It allows a broader food choice and that makes les chance of feeling deprived! Best of luck to you.

                    Thanks for the welcome. Of course as soon as I placed an order for a new book I ended up finding my old one. But I guess that is how it always works.

                      LOLOL, thats the way it always goes. But on the positive side...two books are way better than none! Now you can keep one in your car or purse so you'll never be without.

                        Re: Second Time

                        This is my second time around at Atkins too. The first time I lost about 30 lbs. I am an emotional eatter and life just got a little crazy and I feel off the carb wagon.

                        This time, i'm being very aware of my moods and I also started weight training so when I feel sad, bitchy, depressed I go to the gym and the exercize takes the edge off of my issues and I feel better afterwards.

                        All the best to you. Bonti
