Newbie again... starting Atkins! Hi!

[lenshanem]

Hi all! Oh, I've been over to this board several times over the course of a year's time. LOL I can't stick wth dieting! This time I hope it works.

I lost 40 pounds to my goal weight after baby one with Atkins.

Lost 40 pounds AGAIN after baby two with Atkins.

Since then (three years) I have been bouncing back and forth between my goal weight and EXACTLY 18 pounds over. My body just keeps going back to that 18 extra pounds weight!

After a winter of eating crap right along with the kids I'm trying to lose that 18 pounds again so I can fit into my shorts. I have fat clothes for right after I was pregnant and then skinny clothes. No clothes in between so it has been really hard. I just refuse to go shopping cause I keep saying I'm gonna lose the weight. So I've been looking a little rough lately in the fashion department. Good thing I stay at home with the kids! But hard when I gotta go out somewhere nice.

I started back on Atkins for like the million time a little over a week ago. (Gosh, it feels like forever ago...) and I've lost 3 pounds. Sure it is just water. Seems like the more I do this diet the harder it is to lose the weight. Maybe I'm resisting Atkins? Regardless, it is the only diet that has ever worked for me in the past.

I'm in Ketosis, just started a new pill, though. I dunno...

Anyway, hopefully this time I'll stick with this group!

Thanks for letting me vent!

Welcome!!

Isn't Atkins great? Three pounds is a fantastic start!! And, it doesn't matter if it's water or not, you've still lost it! Wait til the energy kicks in, and you start feeling great!

Stick around and keep us informed of your progress!

Thanks Rhonda! I woke up this morning and weighed, lost another two pounds. It is amazing how much of a boost that gave me. I was worried Atkins wasn't going to work as well this time around with the new med I'm on.
