  • Hello

    I'm Steve, I'm about to start Atkins on monday and so is my partner who has also joined the forum.

    I currently weigh 252lbs i started Atkins a few months ago for a week and lost about 9lbs. I decided to get Christmas and the new year over with and start properly after those distractions were over with.

    So here i am, looking forward to it & about to take a before picture.

      Thanks!!

      There isn't any more "events" that i normally eat lots & drink lots like christmas/new year and by the time they come round again, i should be adjusted to eating the atkins way.

          Got it.

          Here in the US, there's lots of pitfalls for people! SuperBowl Sunday, Valentine's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Halloween, etc. etc.

          I agree, in a year, you should have new habits!

            In the UK we have valentines day, halloween & obviously birthdays and anniversaries, but i personally don't do much for any of those things so i should be fine to stay on track with Atkins.

              Yes, I know you have those things in the UK! It was humor.

              I hope you got the point of my comment.
