  • I'm starting atkins tomorrow.

    Hello all;

    I'm going grocery shopping after work, then beginning my atkins journey tomorrow morning. I was successful with this back in 2003, I lost 74lbs in 4.5 months. I then fail off and have gained it back plus alot. I look forward to my journey and meeting all the people here.

      Hi & welcome to the site!

      Ouch - grocery shopping the first time when starting the plan can be expensive! Just remember - you are WORTH it!

      I probably don't need to tell you that though since you had such amazing success the first time around!

      Good luck tomorrow!

            Great to hear.
            Yes sugar "detoxification" can be hard but it does not last long as you probably remember. Keep drinking water

              UGH! That was the worst part. Sugar withdrawl is all a blur to me now. It only lasts a few days and its gone...Thankgod! I found having deviled eggs in the fridge was helpful....when i really needed something, I could reach and get instant gratification. It helped me get through the cravings.

                    It'll get better - truly, and more quickly than you might think.

                    Drink water instead of the sugar (or the wine ).
