Howdy!
Well, I figure enough time has passed that I ought to introduce myself by sticking my neck out and saying hello!
I began Atkins on April 19, 2009. I found this site right away but did not join until June 17th. Even though I have never posted before now, I can’t express enough how much I have learned from logging in every day. At least every other day I am referencing the 2002 DANDR. I swear I learn something new every day! I can’t express how important reading the book, drinking the minimum 64 oz. of water per day and staying away from those bars and shakes is. Yes, I was a rebel at first but I had to learn for myself. All I know is that I will never buy another Atkins bar or shake ever again. Yes, they are convenient but there are so many other healthier and cheaper alternatives out there.
There are a few ladies that I would like to give kudos to. Carole, Chinadoll, Georgiana, Elizellen, JulieB, and Mitzimarie……the time that you take to guide others simply amazes me. I value all of your advice and you all contribute so much to this site. You are so appreciated and I can’t thank you enough.
My weight loss has been incredible! Today another pair of pants went into the “fat” clothes pile. I wore them to work and could barely keep them on, even with a belt. My fat clothes pile has now filled a green lawn bag. My co-workers have just recently started to take notice and it gives me even more incentive and confidence. What a great feeling! When I began this new lifestyle I was wearing a size 26 pants. I am now wearing a size 20. I am able to get into an 18 but I have to lay on the bed to get them zipped. It feels good knowing I will be wearing them comfortably in no time. All this in less than 4 months!
I’m not so sure I would have been as successful without this site. I can’t imagine any other lifestyle than the Atkins way. (steps off soapbox and leaves the stage)
