  • Hi everyone!

    Hi guys, just joined today and wanted to say hello to everyone. I originally started Atkins for the first time about a year ago and did really well on it.

    After sticking to the plan religiously and losing over 20lbs I thought I would never fall off the wagon, but after a death in the family I turned back to all the old friends (or "frenemies"), white bread, potatoes, pasta, you name it.

    Gained all the weight back and then some (REALLY then some), and until recently was the heaviest I've ever been in my life. I'm now 4 days into Induction and am determined that NOTHING is going to sway me this time.

    I came across this forum while looking for inspiration and knew immediately that this is the place for me. You guys are all brilliant and your posts make me laugh and cry in equal measure.

    Best of luck everyone, hope to get to know lots of you over the course of this incredible journey.

    Lots of love, Aif xx

        Welcome Back, just remember it's not a diet, but a WOE/WOL. You will do great.

        What I know:
        1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
        2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
        3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
        4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.
