Hello From Wyoming
My name is Cynthia, Cyn, I am a second timer on Atkins. In the early 2000's, lost around 80 lbs. I regained it, like lots of others after some life changing events, cancer, divorce, car accident.
Last Nov., I re-started Atkins ,seriously after reaching a weight of over 232 lbs. I was so depressed, newly married to a wonderful supportive man. I was told by the dr I was type 2 and was placed on meds for blood pressure, etc. I was miserable and in poor health mentally and physically. I hopped on the Atkins wagon again..I have lost over 80 lbs. and am now sitting at 155.
I am a member of a couple of atkins forums and have found the support encouraging and it keeps me modivated. It also helps since I am the only one in the household that eats lc. My wonderful DH is thin with a super metabolism, not a problem for him.
Since being back on Atkins, no meds. My blood sugar is wonderful. I also take no meds for my blood pressure. My asthma is under control and I also have recently (2 months) quit smoking!
I am hoping to met alot of others who have restarted atkins. I need the motivation. I had a goal of 155, and met it. But, I'd like to drop another 10 and to do that I need to get "charged" up again and energized.
