  • Day 1 to a new me

    Hello everyone,

    My name is Anne. I'm starting induction today and decided to start Atkins based on seeing how my mom lost 25 pounds in 4 months and looks great. She is still on Atkins doing maitenance and looks fantastic - she feels great too. She is an inspiration for me to take a good look at myself and realize that I too can take control of how I look and feel.

    I was always average and weighed 135 pounds when I started college. By graduation I was at 148. By my wedding 3 years later I was 157. Now, 1.5 years later I am 171 and not willing to go any further.

    I just started a new job and feel like this is a new start all together for me. I would give anything to be comfortable in my skin and my clothes again. Nothing I own fits quite right and I hate spending money on clothes when I am hoping to lose the weight. There was a time I would look in the mirror and think, "dang, I look pretty good" and now I just cringe at what I see looking back at me. How did I get here --- probably had to do with getting marriend and as they say, "letting myself go".

    I hope to gain support from these forums to keeping positive and keeping myself in control. I know I can do it!

      Hi milfit - thanks for the welcome! How long have you been on Atkins and have you seen success from using the program so far? Do you do any cardio while on the program?

        I started Atkins on Feb 16th, and have lost 6lbs. I started my work out regimen on dec 27th, i do elliptical for 30 mins, then lift weights 3-5 days a week. I have had some rocky days, mainly the hardest for me is the weekend, but i plan ahead and i love meat so its not bad!

          Hi Anne, I'm a newbee also. Well, somewhat. I had done atkins 3 years ago and lost ~30 lbs., about a year ago I started to think I could eat anything again but with moderation.. well, I've put 15 back on so I need to start the journey again and decided today was the day. I'm not looking forward to induction but.. I do know that once I do start seeing results, It will give me all the will power I need. Hang in there, you will be amazed.
