My Atkins

[Dax]

From reading the post here it seems everyone is pretty serious in the dieting. I tried Atkins in Sept of 02 and was on it until Oct of 02 and noticed very little change. I went off the diet for the holidays, but still watched my carb intake whenever possibe. I also switched my birth control pill. I restarted the diet in late Feb this year. I was 170 pounds when I started, today I am down to 145. I cant believe it. I never really went through the full Atkins plan, like checking my sugars or anything, I just was catious of my carb intake, and drank tons of water and began doing situps and the excercise bike. I am proud to have lost the weight, and have another 10-15 pounds to go to get to my "goal" weight. If I continue what I am doing, I feel I can do it. It is the greatest feeling in the world to fit into clothes( and still have extra room) that you havent worn in almost 2 years

DAX, I'm so glad to see you back on the DIS again. I've missed you.

I'm really excited to see you here on WISH. Are you taking the challenge? Grab your clipart. It's so much fun to be able to recognize other WISHers all over the DIS. Well, it's fun for me, anyway

I'm following Atkins plan too. Haven't done quite as well as you, though.

My sister gave Atkins up because her birth control pill didn't agree with the plan. She lost a total of 2.5 pounds in three months I think I would have given up that pill before I gave up this eating plan, LOL.

Welcome to WISH, promise you will hang around a while?

I found the pill was inhibiting my loss. Like I said, once I switched pills ( I am on a new one now, Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO) I have just melted away the punds. Now my hardest part is to tone the flabby legs and thighs and butt.

Like I said, nothing feels better than to lose 25 lbs. What a loss.... I actually bought size 8 pants...I was wearing 12, and that was getting tight but that is a thing of the past now

That is great news!!!!! You should be very proud of yourself! Glad to see you on the WISH board. This is such a positive place to hang out! Always great to "meet" another Floridian!

Good luck toning those legs. Walking will do the trick!!! And we are having such beautiful weather lately.

Can't wait to buy my size 8s too!!! Good for you!
