Hi Ya'll

[basil40]

no, i really don't talk that way even though i live in Alabama. only the rednecks talk that way. no offense to any rednecks ! i started atkins last summer and lost twenty pounds but during christmas i got side tracked and gained five pounds back.

I started back about three weeks ago and have lost about 10 pounds. not as much as i would like but hey, that's two five pound bags of sugar right? I've kinda stopped losing but i have read so many wonderful things on this forum. i learned that in the third week your weight loss can just stop for a while. looks like that's what happened to the southern belle here. anyway, i love looking at the before and after pics of you guys, very inspirational.

i am excited about joining this forum and hope to contribute often.

Hi Basil -- I started January 5th and as of last Monday I had lost 17 pounds. I'm going on to OWL this coming Monday (Feb 2). I don't think I've lost any weight this week .... don't know for sure, but that's just how I feel.

Re: Hi Ya'll

wow carole. that's a lot of weight. congrats. that is what i was hoping for but before i started atkins again i wasn't really eating a lot of carbs so i think that's why i'm not losing currently. anyway i haven't gained any back so i'm pretty satisfied.

yeah. if you pick up two bags of sugar it's pretty heavy.

Re: Hi Ya'll

I think I stayed on induction a week too long...my body is use to what I have been doing (and eating) and it's just decided to stick at 200 again this week. I'll have to do measurements today but that's ok -- I'm ready to move on and so is my body!! Good luck to you!!
