Well thanks to you all I've done it ! indirectly you all have given me great insite and direction. I was about ready to give up , and stumbled on to this site. I've done the yo yo thing all my life and after having two kids found my self with lots of weight related problems. High Bp , heart poblems, and all the mood swings we all have had. I 'm only 35 and wanted so much more for myself (and family) that in nov a week before I went in for a heart ablation I started Atkins. Oh boy I was so happy , not only was I dropping weight, but I was feeling sooooo much better ! Everone was telling me how much nicer I was to be around ,much more my old self ( did I realy get that b-----?) and of course loosing 15lb inweek one and 10lb in week two helped them to see the results as well . I became the walking ad. for Atkins saying how great it was to anyone who would listen, even though the weight lose slowed down after the second week I was still on track and felt great .Then some time around christmas I stopped loosing. I know now that I got to confident and although I have yet to "cheat" I began to drink less h2o and more D/pop ,and started to have lots of extreas (nuts became my friend). After three weeks I was getting ready to give up ,but I knew that there must be a simple answer. there was ,and all of you helped me see it ! Thank you so much , I started back at the begining and am sooo happy to say I'm down two lbs! I am planning to stay on the straight and norrow now intill I'm much closer to my goal .I realy want to look good in a bathing suit this summer !


THANKS AGAIN ! YOU ARE ALL SO GREAT!

Don't thank "us," thank yourself for sticking with it! Congrats on your progress! Your enthusiasm shows.

it realy dose have to be a WOL if you want it to stay off doesn't it . The funny thing is I 'm Okay with that I thought I would miss carbs alot more than I do . I have a 6 year old and even yesterday I made blueberry muffins for his lunches(quiet a compition in first grade , who has the better lunch!) and even though they smelt great cooking I was able to leave them alone! Any other time I would have had two or three . For some reason I have been able to not cheat this time! Its great
