Re: Will be starting Atkins on Monday.

Last week was a bust. We did good for the first couple of days. Then we lost power. We tried to stay home but it was to cold to keep the kids here, so we went to my father in laws house. Restarted again yesterday.

Great to hear that you restarted. Hopefully things will go well this week.

Good luck to both you and your husband. My husband started after I had lost 18 lbs. the first month. He lost 4.5 lbs. the first week.

Re: Will be starting Atkins on Monday.

It's only week 2 for my husband. He is doing pretty well, although, he says he isn't going to be as strict as I am. I am drinking lots of water(at least 8 glasses a day), and he isn't. He drinks maybe 4-5. Also he can't give up the morning cup of coffee. Most of the time, other than first thing in the morning he drinks decaf. He is in ketosis (so the strips say) and I am hoping he will get back into exercising. He used to be the one to exercise and I was the one to procrastinate. We'll see. Today is my day to weigh with my group. Wish me luck. According to my scale I only lost a pound or two. Hopefully their scale is at least the same if not better.

Re: Will be starting Atkins on Monday.

sounds like you're doing great keep motivated and I think your husband and my son will follow it once they see us loosing weight . so good luck and keep it up I am on my second day so far so good although i have to admit the excersise part has been hard but I started by doing all my house chores around the house bright and early and that was a whole lot of sweat just as good as a workout Good luck !
