    Starting today

    Hey ya'll,
    I am starting atkins today for the first time in 5 years. When I last followed the atkins diet, I lost 35 pounds in a month. Anyway, here I am again trying. I am hoping to stick with it this time as I am not getting any younger. I am 34 yrs old, 5'10", and weigh 280 lbs. I need to lose 80 pounds. I am excited to be on the boards meeting you folks.

    Great to have you here.
    Sounds like you are quite a loser. But don't be disappointed if things do not happen quite as they did last time. There are so many factors at play.
    Also "veterans" often need to review the rules as some bad habits may have snuck into their Atkins eating and they don't even think about it.
    Look forward to seeing you around Captain.

        Hi and welcome back Captain!!!

        Here is a little information I hope will refresh your memory and help get you going again. To loose and keep the weight off follow the plan the way Dr. Atkins wrote it. The plan works if you follow it the way it is written and don’t try to do it “your way” – obviously “your way” doesn’t work or you wouldn’t be here!

        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.


        Stay away from the shakes and bars (they are NOT legal on induction because of their ingredients and have caused stalling to many people) - eat a variety of foods off the acceptable food list, (making sure you 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 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)

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

          Welcome Cap'n. You certainly live in a city that will provide challenges. The NO food is wonderful! So stick with the shrimp and not the beignets andI wish you great success. Feel free to ask questions and post daily--it helps keep you accountable.
