Hello to all you wonderful people! I happened on this website by accident and am so happy I found you! Reading some of the posts I see that most of you are young Moms, so my question is will you let an "Older" Mom join? LOL
I am 53 and started Atkins in April 2003. I did really great the first 2 months and lost 19 pounds. I was at a standstill to get any more weight of so I re-read the Atkins book and realized that I was so excited about losing weight I did not take any vitamin supplements. I started them in June and took off another 10 pounds. Then the test came along! I went on vacation and did not stay on the diet. So I have now gained back some of the weight I lost and on Monday went back on the diet again. The good news is that I an still less that I was when I first started! I wish you all the best in your weight-loss. Debbye AKA Pearaleg |
Third times a charm.

Thanks Tashi
Thanks for the support, we do tend to beat ourselves up don't we? I am not sure if my 1st message went to where it was supposed to go but I am glad I heard from you.

Hi, Pearaleg.
I'm 52 and new too, and our stats are not much different. Also, I'm about to go on holiday for 2 weeks, and hope I don't put too much on, like you managed. Any tips? Did you avoid potatoes, pasta and rice? It's the booze and desserts that will be my downfall, I think! |
Vacation
Hi Med,
I was able to stay away from the potatoes and bread but the desserts gave me a hard time. Most places where I ate had sugar-free desserts so that is what I went with and only ate 1/2 of whatever it was. The cheesecake was the best. Eat lots of salads and drink lots of water, it helps to fill you up! Good luck and enjoy your vacation Debbye |
Thanks, Debbye.
Hope there will be sugar-free desserts. I read somewhere that if you have to eat dessert or other CHO, only a golf ball size portion. I might manage that! By the way, when I said our stats are similar, I meant parallel. Obviously I'm heavier than you are, but I'm taller too. I don't go on holiday till the 17th, so maybe we'll talk till then. I was really sick in the night, but I think I had a fish bone stuck in my throat. I felt quite light-headed and dizzy this morning so I did have breakfast. Hope it is all over now! Have a good LC day! |
Hi Pearaleg,
I think you will find there are more of us "older" Moms around here *lol* . Im 48 and just started on CAD, I love it, Im just hoping that it works for me as well as it has for many of the others. anyway, welcome. Rose |
