Hello fellow Atkinsers!!

[Poca]

This is my second time starting Atkins, the last time was about 10 years ago when I lost 30 lbs and looked and felt great. Somehow through these past 10 years, I got cocky, threw my Atkins knowledge to the wind and that 30lbs crept back and brought 30 friends!!
There are lots of things I can blame - but in the end, I was the one putting all those things in my mouth, right!!??
The turning point came for me when I had to put a size 14 back on the rail cause it didn't fit - I'm 5ft 4 to put in perspective.

Now I'm back, started last week just based on what I've remembered Induction to be, lost 5 lbs in the week, then realized that I'm not doing it 100% (milk in coffee, carrots in induction, etc). So I ordered the book again, started googling and joined this site, I'm all yours now!

I have a goal weight, but mostly I have a 'size' goal - since this silly thing called age have a tendency to mess with numbers, I just want to fit in a size 10 again... well, maybe 9, but I'll be happy with a 10. Whatever I'm weighing then, that'll be my goal weight.

In the meantime, I still love seeing those numbers on the scale go down though!! Who knows, I might be able to run a half-marathon again in a year or so...

Hi and welcome back –

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.

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

Re: Hello fellow Atkinsers!!

I think a size goal is a good way to go. I have know idea what I will weigh if I ever get to a size 10/12 but if I can wear those clothes I won't care!

Good for you for checking on things and making those corrections. Induction will be much better if you do it cleanly. Glad you found us.
