Hi All,
Just to Introduce myself:
I am Female, 38 years old, 5'3, 204 pounds as of last Saturday.
Six and a half years ago I lost 60 pounds on Atkins in about 4 months. That time, I went from 190 lbs to 130 lbs. I was a size small size 8 (fit into some size 6 too) I kept it off for about 3 1/2 years. Then (after a stormy break up with a man who was very watchful of my weight I might add) I started eating very non-Atkins-friendly foods. It was kind of like "well the relationship ended in disaster, but at least now I can eat a big bowl of pasta without getting yelled at) I probably gained 40-50 pounds the first year, then another 25-35 over the next 2 1/2 years. And here I am. 204 pounds. I can hardly believe it. 4 1/2 weeks ago I went back on Atkins and lost nothing in 4 weeks BUT I didn't do it as "clean" as I did 6 1/2 years ago. This time I didn't give up caffeine, I over-did it on the cheese, I didn't eat multiple smaller meals (just big dinners), and I was hardly drinking any water. SOOOOOOO as of yesterday, I have made some adjustments - No coffee, no cream, no cheese, eat at least 2 times during the day, and drink at least 85 ounces of water per day. I am going to stay on induction for at least another 2 weeks since I didn't lose anything the first four weeks. I hope these adjustments mak a difference. Fingers crossed!
