Hi there! I have been "dieting" for about 4 months now and have gained 10 pounds. Basically I had cut the amount I'd been eating in half and all I did was slow down my motabolism completely.

I have heard nothing but positives about the LC WOE so I am going to give it my best efforts. I need help though!

Shallow as it is, I am trying to lose before a trip. My hubby is taking me on my first trip ever (S. Caribbean cruise) for my birthday and I want to look and feel my best. Even my cruise forums suggested Atkins to drop those unwanted pounds!

I'll give it 100% - just hope the WOE gives back!

Welcome to the forum bzeus! Best of luck to you!

Hi! Welcome. You're certainly not alone in the "gaining weight by dieting" category.

Feel free to start a journal, especially if you're "tweaking" the plan already. You'll get plenty of good feedback.

Enjoy!

A Cruise!!! Wow how fun!!! You will find all the support you need here. Everyone is great and so very helpful. Like Kristine said you probably should start a journal. It is a great place to keep track of your foods and stuff. Good luck and hope to see you around
