    new to boards..

    Hi my name is Trisan . I'm new to the boards but not to Atkins. I'm on day 4 of induction and have lost 4 lbs! It would be nice if I could keep losing at the same rate that I have so far but I know things will slow down. I am going on a cruise 9/28 and my goal is to lose 16 more lbs by the time we board the ship.. I would be ecstatic at anything more than that. I'm currently at 179 and my long term goal is 130 (ish) .

          Thanks to all of you for the welcome! Liv you are right about the toning up. I've been going to the gym since 4/1 and have lost 9 inches around waist/hips! I became very frustrated with the fact that I had only lost 3 lb by way of counting calories from 4/1 till now and spending an hour each day on the treadmill and two days training in the gym. I came back to Atkins because of that. I always have tons of energy and this is truly the only "diet" that I have ever lost weight on and MAINTAINED it. I can thank atkins for my now 7 year old daughter too. I have PCOS and even with fertility meds I couldn't get pregnant the second time around. I started atkins, lost 25 lbs pretty quickly (which have never returned) and surprise! I was pregnant!. I now have a literal mini-me. We look identical in pictures. Anyway, I am off to the gym. Hope you all have a wonderful day! And oh! almost forgot.. I'm down another lb and some odd ounces this morning! YIPPEE!! I should add too.. DH has NEVER worn a tux before. Not even at our wedding. I made it a goal of mine and he agreed, that if I made my mini goal he would wear a tux captains night on the cruise! How fun.. (he says he'd do it anyway after seeing me work so hard at the gym and not getting any scale related victory for my efforts) Ok! Gotta go.. going to be late.. have a great day !

            Hello there. We have two things in common I noticed. I'm losing for a cruise 8/18 and deal with PCOS too. Good to hear that you responded so well to Atkins last time around. THis is my first (hopefully last) attempt. Nice to meet ya!
