Hello! My name is Sue, and this is my second time trying Atkins, and I really want to make it work last time. I lost 75 lbs from January 2001 to June 2005, some on CAD, 50 lbs on Weight Watchers, and the last 5lbs on Atkins. While I lost weight on WW, I was hungry ALL the time, and stalled out and couldn't get past the stall, no matter what I did..
Atkins was a revelation, because I was not hungry for the first time ever. I did stall out pretty quickly back then, but I was also pretty close to my goal weight. I never left "induction", but looking back, I can see I was not really doing a long term induction, since I was eating nuts and Atkins bars...
Anyway, to get to the point. I had twins 16 months and 80 lbs ago. I have lost 40 lbs, but still have 40 to go. I also found out that I have celiac disease (autoimmune reaction to wheat, rye, barley, and oats) so it's pretty obvious my body is suited to low carb. Because of the celiac, I seem to be really holding on to my weight - I hope against hope that I can lose on Atkins.. we'll see. At the very least I will stop gaining (going gluten free has caused me to gain weight).
I have just finished induction. My scale is bouncing around all over the place, I thought I had lost 6lbs, but today is says I have lost 3lbs. Who knows, it's better than gaining. I am starting OWL tomorrow for the first time, I'm going to just add back more veggies for the first week.
Wish me luck!!
