  • Determined

    Hey all. I am 25 years old. I have been married for almost 6 years to a great guy, who is unfortunately is much skinnier than me! So, after three kids in three years - it's time for me to reclaim myself as a woman.

    I have been on the Atkins Diet before, many years ago...and it worked. I lost about 40 lbs. But, since then - since three pregnancies - I have gained the 40 lbs and much more.

    It has been several months since I stepped on a scale and I am guessing my weight to be roughly 250. (It could be more, it could be less.....I am just judging on the fact that I am still wearing the same clothes, they are just a little tighter than normal.)

    So.........yesterday I began my journey. My husband has jumped on the bandwagon with me, even though he will be invisible if he loses any weight....it's great to have his support.

    I am looking forward to posting my after-induction-phase-pics.

    Good luck to everyone here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi, Laura

    Welcome to ADBB!

    We have a couple of things in common - I, too, had to do Atkins more than once before I got it to "stick". Also, my husband has always been thin. In fact, he has trouble keeping his weight above 135! He's a great support, though, and it sounds like your hubby will be too!

    Have you checked out the STAC forum yet? (Second Time Around Club) Lots of great folks, and tons of support there. Also, if you haven't seen this "sticky" yet, please give it a look. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...-new-read.html Although you have done Atkins before, it never hurts to have a little refresher. I've also included some good links in there to help you navigate the board.

    Best of luck to you!
