Hello! I have lost forty pounds on Atkins twice after I quit nursing both my kids. Kept it off for awhile, but over the last couple months I've lost all motivation and have gained back ten. Sooo, I'm gonna try to lose it again! Here I go...

<b>lenshanem</b> it's wonderful to see you here. Welcome to our happy WISH family. I follow the Atkins plan, too. Glo has been a great inspiration and help to me, everyone has, no matter what program they follow.

Grab the WISH challenge clipart art, you can find out how to do that <b>HERE</b>. If you need help pm Kelsie, glo or me or ask on the technical support board.

You will be replacing it with the 5 pound loss clippie very, very soon, I'm sure of it.

Thanks everyone! So far so good, I hate getting into ketosis. Just tried to curb my desire to eat by opening a bag of Hot N'Spicy pork rinds. OUCH! Wow, they are hot! That quit me eating for awhile! LOL
Had to go buy one pair of shorts today in a size bigger. That was good motivation to lose the weight. I need to get back into my shorts from last year!
Thanks again!

Sorry for the late welcome! That is SUCH a cute picture in your signature!

Hope you have an easy time getting into ketosis! Hang in there! You did it before and you can do it again!


Good luck!

Wow that is a great weight loss already. You have less to lose than me! This is my second time around. I think I'll be eating this way forever now

How did day one go for you Shan? I started low carbing in June of 2002 and had lost 32 pounds by December. I then swayed off track for a couple months and gained a bit back. I'm now holding at a 30 pound loss and working on moving in the right direction now.

I had terrible sugar withdrawals. I had awful headaches and even felt flu like.

For many, many years I've had IBS. It was to the point that I hated to be more than a couple minutes from a bathroom. It was really hurting living my life to its fullest. WOW -- I was so surprised that within a week of eating low carb my IBS disappeared. That is what keeps me going during the hard times. YES, I have loads of weight to lose. But I feel so healthy and never want to go back to the way of life I had during my IBS days.

You're back on track again --- and that is always the hardest step. We'll get thru this together!

 

[lenshanem]

Thanks again for the messages this morning. That should keep me on track today. (I've been having a TERRIBLE time controlling my eating lately, thus the 10 pound gain back.)
Tummy is a little off, but that always means I'm on my way to that purple strip!

Hope everyone does well today, too!
