  • 2nd time around

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Tim. I'm 29. I live in Philly, Pa. This is my 2nd go around on Atkins. I've been overweight pretty much my whole life. The first time I did Atkins I started out weighing in at 320 my goal was to 200. I got down to 187. I kept the weight off for a year and a half but then I went through a very depressing divorce and proceded to "party" for the next 3 years. Sadly this took its toll on my loss and over time I put back all the weight and then some. As of Febuary of this year I weighed in at a whopping 337 lbs. This was a low point in my life so me and my fiance decided to join weight watchers. At first I did ok I got down to 303 lbs but just never felt good doing it. I was always hungry and eventually gave in to temptation. So last monday i decided I will give my old friend "Atkins diet" another shot. I started off weighing at 314. As of today, after one week I've lost 7 lbs. I'm feeling really good and highly motivated. Hopefully I can lose all my weight and stay motivated. I'm getting married in august 08 and would like to reach my goal of being 190 by then. If your still reading this thanks and hopefully we'll be there to support one another.

      thanks for the kind words. I think I know what I'm doing but I'm feeling a bit discourged today because I haven't lost a pound in like 4 days but I'm going to stay strong because I know my previous lifestyle didn't help me lose any pounds either lol.

        Hello there Bigtim and welcome! Nice to have you with us!

        Don't worry about your little "pause". It's a fact that, for many, the second time on Atkins (and other diets too), your weight loss takes a little longer to kick in. If you follow the plan to the letter, you can be sure that you will lose.

        Post lots and ask any questions you might have. There's always someone around to help and advise here at ADBB!

        Happy losing!
