  • New to here not Atkins

    I was on Atkins a while back and then totally got off. As I approached 200 lbs again I started thing I should start dieting or exercising. When I reached 241.5 lbs I actually started eating better.
    I tried a little of this a little of that. I lost 2 lbs in 3 months. I told myself at least I was loosing. Then one day I got on the tread mill, went 10 min and could not move for 2 days after. I had gotten too heavy to exercise without hurting myself. I have other physical problems that limit my exercising ability.
    The only diet I know that you can start loosing weight without exercising is Atkins. I was dreading the carbohydrate withdrawal. It was actually worse than I remembered it. Now I am through it and feeling human again. Last week I was healed enough to start exercising "carefully". I was looking for the carb count for avocados today and found you. Last time I had a partner and we kept each other motivated. Now I am alone. I WAS alone. I have all of you to share with.

    I am at day 16. I had lost 5 lbs as of day 14, my first weighing. I learned last time to only weigh once a week at the same time on the same day. That is what works best for me. Wake up Monday morning, weigh, get dresses, go to work. It just starts the week off right, no matter what I weigh.
    We are in this together.

      Welcome to the board, Teresa!

      I also have to exercise carefully but it can be done and remember that every little bit helps, even if it's just a 10 minute walk.

        Welcome back -

        If you can't use the treadmill strength training is another way to get your exercise in. Hope you have a copy of the 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution - it's the edition we use on this board.

        Good luck to you
