Back after 6 yrs

[hh2009]

Hi everyone. I'm a former Atkins follower but have fallen by the wayside for many years. I actually did Atkins a long time ago when I really didn't need to lose but about 10 lbs. Now, I find myself 55 lbs overweight. So, I am going to try to do it again and stay committed.

I started on Monday and today (Friday) I am down 5 lbs! That's great for me and it's keeping me motivated! I love reading all of your success stories in the forum. The motivation really does help!

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

Regardless of what you did before, or what people are doing now, your body is different than anyone so it’s best not to compare - just follow the plan the way it's written. Look around and find what interests you and join in. Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support.

I hope you already have the 2002 DANDR book and have read it, it is the edition we follow on this site. If not it's worth a few dollars to purchase. Get enough pure water in daily (64oz is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin.

Check this page for answers to a lot of your questions: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. Make sure you are eating enough vegetables – Atkins isn’t just meat and cheese – vegetables are a huge part of your daily menu and is where most of your carbs should be coming from.



The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out!
