Hello, all. I am a new member to the site. I started, about 10 years ago on Atkins, and over an 11 month period, I lost about 91 lbs. Atkins was a great way to lose weight and I felt so good! After that, life happened and I lost my resolve, slowly adding a little here and there. When I got married, about 2 years after ending Atkins, I had gained about 20 lbs. But, then, I had my son (now 6) and gained about 100 lbs. during pregnancy (he weighed almost 11 lbs.). And-well-here I am today still carrying much of that weight 6 years later!!!! I started induction on Sunday and I already feel sooo much better. No afternoon lags-energized. I have been using my treadmill for about a month and got a WII Fit for Christmas, so that's been a huge help. I want to lose 40-50 lbs. by summer-I want to run around with my son and be comfortable. I want to lose 100lbs. (or, more) altogether. But, baby steps. Thanks for reading!

Re: New member
Thanks for the replys thus far!!!!! I am working on the mental portion of this as well. I know I need to fully believe in this as a life style change and not a "diet".Comment

Then one day I try on my size 6 jeans and they go halfway up my thighs! Denial ain't just a river in Egypt! lol I didn't think I would ever gain back 35 pounds after losing 100 and living this way of life (Atkins) but, hey, it happened, but tis not too late! I watch family member with T2 diabetes and who are overweight shoot insulin or take meds for it and wow, wake up call. I don't want to be there!sigpic48 yrs -5'6", back on Atkins OWL to lose the weight I gained from emotional eating.... 35 pounds! Atkins all the way since 2001! Minus 14lbs since Jan. 2nd 2010!Comment
