New girl from Louisiana!!
Hey everyone! I am not new to Atkins but new to the forum!! Tried it in the past and I succeeded with 47lbs lost for my wedding! And now I am back with a 3 year old and a whole host of health issues..LOL..Diagnosed with PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) in October of 2007 and Hypothryoidism the same month..I have steady put on weight since I had my son, and have tried everything else in the world but the one program that I actually know works for me..
I have just been in denial. With PCOS, my body doesnt digest sugars or starches properly and to make a long story short, converts it straight to fat!! You would think that would make me stay away from the sugars and starches but ohhh no i had to go and eat them....so from that I have put on ALOT of weight in about 2 years and I am at my boiling point and am READY to get it off...I want another baby, I want to bring my son to DisneyWorld, I just want to enjoy my life and start living, not just surviving...I want my marriage to be better because my attitudes will be better..and so on!! The last attempt I had on Atkins was soooo great until I threw my gallbladder outta whack because I was eating way too many meats and not enough veggies..but I lost 16lbs in 2 weeks and I felt fabulous! I am on Metformin for PCOS and it should help to melt the weight away and I am so excited to start! I have made some short term goals...and am looking forward to challenging myself..I will be starting on Jan. 18...as soon as I can get my house and kitchen in order!!!! Good Luck to everyone and THANK YOU!!
