Starting over and exited!

[stephsox99]

Hi All,
I have had a constant battle with weight my whole life! In my early 20's I lost 85lbs, and was a size 8/10 for the first time ever!!! Then 3yrs later, my heart got broken and now I'm heavy again. I have a wedding to go to in Oct and my Boyfriends family is super judgemental. I have made the descision to do Atkins, because it really is the only thing that works for me, and you get quick results. Plus I was diagnosed with PCOS last year, and my fabulous Doctor JUST informed me that it causes insulin resistance and low carb is hte way to go. That info would have been helpful a long time ago! So hear I go again. I start induction full force tomorrow, and can't wait!!

Hi and welcome back to the Atkins lifestyle. We have a group of people who help each other with PCOS PCOS & Atkins Low Carb Living - Atkins Diet - I'm sure they will welcome you also.

Don’t compare what you lost or how you did “the last time” your body and lifestyle isn’t the same as last time – follow the plan the way it is written, exercise, drink plenty of pure water (64 ounces minimum daily – nothing added) and you’ll be on your way to loosing before you know it.

Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support. Check the stickies at the top of the induction forum to refresh your memory on the plan. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/5781-before-you-begin-atkins-nutritional-approach.html.

If a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list don’t eat it. Make a copy of the the list and take it with you everywhere. Make sure you don’t just look at the “carb” number look at the ingredients list of everything and check the ingredients against your list. Just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. We count "net carbs" not whole carbs (carb minus fiber = net carbs).

The recipe sites are a helpful meal planning tool – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.

Hi Steph, welcome to ADBB! If you have used Atkins before for quick results it sounds like you view it as a means to an end. If you want to be thinner and healthier and STAY thinner and healthier you need to adopt this as a permanent lifestyle choice. Glad you found us. We are all here to help you on your way.

Start now - no time to lose
OK I can wait for the update tomorrow. Fill up those waterbottles. Throw out all the sugar and starch and power up.
