    Hello fellow Atkins followers
    I first did the Atkins diet in 1973. I was 23 years old and needed to loose 25 pounds. It was the best diet I had ever been on.
    I am now 59 and still believe it is the best diet for me. Let's say it is the only one that works!
    Unfortunately I have not maintained my goal weight. My weakness is salty snacks. I am a chipaholic! Any kind of chips! I also like an occasional margarita or two. My husband is 6' tall and is 160lbs. He eats anything and everything.

    So here I am back at what I know works for me (and believe me I've tried most everything!) I just turned 59 and made myself a promise to stick to it this time. I have the tools and my hubby is going to help me. I'm only 18lbs away but those always seem to be the hardest.

    Wish me luck!!

      Hi and welcome back Kathy -- Here is a little information I hope will refresh your memory and help get you going again. Stay away from the shakes and bars (they are NOT legal on induction) - eat a variety of foods, get your fats, carbs and protein in daily, drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), take supplements and exercise.

      Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support. We also have challenges for members to join, some are exercise related and some aren’t. Also start a journal and post your thoughts along the way.

      Check the stickies (information posts) at the top of the induction page - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/ – it’s an easy way to answer questions you may have if you can’t find your copy of the book.

      Check the recipe sites also - they are very helpful and will help make your meals so much more enjoyable. Make sure you are using induction recipes until you move on to OWL (ongoing weight loss)

      Recipe Sites

      (Never ending induction recipes)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/58513-never-ending-induction-recipes.html
      (Induction Recipe Basics--More recipes added)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/6807-induction-recipe-basics-more-recipes-added.html

      If you need anything we’re here to help you!! Good luck.

        Thx. The sites listed have been of great help getting started again. Things have changed a bit since I first did the program. It's easier now and probably healthier.
        Thx again!

          The new Atkins is meant to be easier and also easier to sustain I think.
