Gettin geared up to start tomorrow

[redy2lose]

Ive done Atkins before a few years ago. I know that it works and it is the diet that works the best for me. I lost 40lbs on it within a few months several years ago. I did keep the weight off for a year and then it all came back and then some because I quit maintaining. I am around 186lbs today and need to lose approxiamatly 50lbs in the next 16 weeks for a wedding of my brothers. My little girl is in the wedding and I want she and I to be able to get all of those mother daughter pics together. I want her to have a Mama that she is proud of. I also am creeping up on 30 years of age and I still want to look good and have the energy I once had. Please pray for me!

Thanks-
Redy2lose

Hi and welcome back -- There is no guarantee you will loose exactly the amount of weight you want to in the timeframe you're giving yourself but if you follow the plan the way it's written you'll do the best you can. 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)
