Back again after pregnancy

[toyamcgee]

Hello all,

It is good to see this board is still up and running. Back in 2007, the support of this board helped me lose 50lbs in 4 months after having my first baby. I kept the weight off for over 2 yrs. I recently had another baby and am currently 54lbs. over where I'd like to be. So, I am back to the best weight lost regimine in the world. Hopefully, I can take these 50lbs off as quickly as I did 3 yrs ago.

I am on my 2nd week of induction and am down 13lbs. Good luck to all in your weight loss endeavors.

Welcome back, Toya! And congrats on your loss so far but you may very well find that it comes off slower than before, but it will come off.

I'm glad you decided to come back to us!

Hi and welcome back to Atkins and congrats on your new family --

Good for you getting back on plan! I hope you have the 2002 DANDR (Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution) - it's the edition we follow on this site. Exercise, take a non-iron vitamin and drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water. Check Linda's recipe site - it will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/menus.html.

Also many people start a journal to keep track of themselves. It’s also a great place to meet new people http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/journal-chats/.

If you need anything we’re here to help you!! Good luck.

Thanks Nya and Carole for the welcome back. Yes, Carole, I do have the book from when I did Atkins a few years back. I am at the end of week 3 and decided to extend induction for another week. I am down 15lbs.

Hope all is going well for everyone else.

So I've been back on Atkins for a little over a month now and I am pleased to report that I am down almost 20lbs. Most people said not to expect the same success I had on Atkins before, but I am ahead of where I was when I lost 50 lbs on Atkins back in 2007. Although I still have a long way to go, I am proud of what I've accomplished so far.
