Back Again...

[themotomedic]

Well, here we go. I did atkins last year for a month and dropped 40lbs and well gained it all back after I lost it since I didn't maintain. But here I am again, I started last Sunday at 301.5lbs and got down to 289.0 by Thursday and well went off this weekend and ate whatever I wanted so my week I'm only down to 294.0 I wish I could find a way to stay on it all 7 days of the week instead of going up and down. But I cut weight fast, VERY FAST and its not water weight considering I drink up to a gallon of water a day!

So here we go, I'm going to try to use this BB to keep on track and to help myself and to most importantly help others!

I wanna get to 250 by July 1st so that's my goal right now and plan on staying on induction until I stop losing big numbers.

What are your thoughts?

Re: Back Again...

Hey Fester. Guys are so lucky, they drop their weight so fast. I think, though, that you will want to be careful with your weight yo-yoing....people have been known to develop resistance to weight loss that way.

As far as goals of losing weight within certain time frames.....not sure that's a great idea to do that to yourself. Perhaps it would be better for you to start off with the understanding that this is a life choice rather than a losing weight choice. The losing will happen, but the weight won't stay off unless you maintain what you've learned about yourself by going through the whole process.

Anyway, welcome back!

Welcome back!
You need to stick to the diet and make Atkins diet a lifestyle not temporary to lose your desired weighed or else you will always be yo yo-ing up and down.
All the best!

Welcome

I am a very new newbie and must admit, I am similar to you when it comes to weekends.

I am fine during the week, then weekend comes along and I really struggle.

I am also going on holiday in two weeks and this keeps worrying me.

Good luck on the weight you can drop when you stick to it!!

Re: Back Again...

Maybe sticking around will help your resolve. If you really want it, you really have to do it.
