Re: mom of 3

That is about how much weight I need to lose. I don't have a goal of being skinny, just being healthier and what I can manage to keep up!

Good luck to you and check in to see if I lose. I will follow your progess too!

Hi! I also have 3. All girls: a teen aged 14, and two wee ones ages 2, and 1. I want to lose at least 100 lbs, maybe more. I started induction last week at 249 lbs and am currently 239. Glad to be able to hook up with other moms!

Congrats wormbutt, 10 lbs in one week is awesome!

I have 3 children with my oldest at 14, second at 11 and baby at 10 months. I started at 187 and now am 171. I am hoping to be at 159 by March 12 and 140 by October.

Re: mom of 3

Hello! I'm a mom of 6. Life keeps me very busy. I started January 5 at 238 and now weigh 225. So far so good. I know this is going to be kind of hard because it took so many years to put it on, but I want it to have all fallen off yesterday. Luckily my hubby is supporting me and helping me. Keep your fingers crossed!

Re: mom of 3

Its nice that your husband is supporting you! Mine says he wants nothing to do with the Atkins diet, and my kids can eat absolultly anything they want so it makes it very tough for me. But I figure that if I just start bringing in the healthier stuff they will be forced to eat it as well, otherwise they will have to go else where for meals and what not! HAHAH! Wish me luck I'm gonna need it!!!!

Re: mom of 3

This is really hard! I need to get better educated on what you can eat in Phase 1 and what not, I keep finding myself looking for something new to try!

Re: mom of 3

Look at the induction list and pick the things on there that you like and put them on a list... it makes it easier when you go to the market

Re: mom of 3

Thats a really good idea! I just bought the books "Dr. Atkins' New Diet " revolution" and " The Atkins Shopping Guide" so hopefully these will help me along in my weight loss journey.
Everyone around me keeps telling me that Atkins is a bad idea though since its a life long diet, because once you start eating more carbs again, you gain the weight back. I dont ever want to gain this weight back again!
But nothing has worked for me otherwise, and I've even considered lap-band surgery, because I have 80-100 lbs. to lose. I'd be happy with 80 though!
Good Luck everyone!

Re: mom of 3

HI The diet does work years ago I manage to lose 25 pounds in 2 weeks following the diet and a 40 minute work out I also did gain it back but thats because you have to slowly add carbs again to the diet if you start eating as you were before you started you will gain all of it back and then some .. Good luck !! I am hoping to stay on it too
