2 kids in 2years and actually DOUBLED in size

[WAY2BIG]

I'm so glad to see this forum. I started Atkins on 10/29 and weighed 192. I am currently 180, an average of 2lbs/week loss.

My babies are 6mos and 20mos and I thought that I would never be able to lose weight again... my heaviest was 240 right before delivering my baby. I really thought that I totally screwed up my metabolism but apparently not because I have lost 60lbs since delivering.

I've tried the WW diet and I was constantly hungry... CONSTANTLY. I'm so glad this WOE exists it is the absolute ONLY diet that works for me... I am constantly satisfied (not hungry) and the weight eventually falls off.

To tell you the truth, I haven't gotten into an exercise routine, I'm afraid that my level of hunger will increase and I'll want to eat more.... I'm one of the Atkineers that have to watch caloric intake or they won't lose and even gain.

God luck to all the Atkins Mom's I look forward to getting to know you all!!

Hi.. I'm kinda in the same boat as you are counting carbs and calories lol, I'm trying to keep myself undere 1500 caleries per day and the 20 carbs allowed during induction. I think that I'm going to do induction longer than 2weeks, how about you?

Re: 2 kids in 2years and actually DOUBLED in size

Hello.. Welcome to the boards. My newest baby is 9 months and I am down 14 lbs since 10-22-08. I am nursing still and supplementing with formula. I delivered at 191 my highest weight ever. I lost all but 5 lbs within 6 weeks of having her but then slowly crept back up eating junk until I had gained all that weight back up to my delivery weight.

I am working on getting to 158 by March. She will be a yr old and I will be where I was in Jan 07.

I started on Atkins in June 06 and lost about 15 lbs. Then I got pregnant in Jan 07 but miscarried and then depression set in and I gained 13 lbs before getting pregnant again in June 07. Once pregnant I had the best pregnancy I have had with 3 kids. I only gained 20 lbs and I ate the best I had ever done while pregnant. I am trying to get back to 158 as I had the hardest time breaking 160. Once there I plan to get to 150 with an ultimate goal of 130-140.

Hope you enjoy your diet.
