Hi all,
So glad I found this board!! I first did Atkins way back in 2003. I was successful in shedding 65 pounds. Unfortunately like so many other poor souls, I thought it would be a quick fix, and that I could go back to a high carb lifestyle. Well three children and 90 pounds heavier, here I am. Gonna do it right this time!! Too bad it took me 6 years to realize that Atkins is not a diet but a life time commitment to being healthy. Better late then never, right? I have a 2 1/2 year old little girl and 5 month old twin daughters. I can not think of a better reason to become a better and healthier me. I want to be able to have the energy to play with my children and to watch them grow. If I kept going the way that I was, there is no telling if that would happen.
Doing pretty well so far. I am a little over three weeks in. I lost 16 pounds during induction and have to decided ( for now) to extend it a little longer. The third week I gained a pound. So glad to have read that this is common. If no weight loss in the next couple of weeks, I plan on moving on to OWL. Wish me luck. Looking forward to being an active member of this wonderful board.
