I'm new here. I've been doing Atkins since May, and I have lost 45lbs. and I'm pretty happy about it to say the least Right now I'm kinda messing around, and am not losing as quickly as I could if I got really disciplined again, and this needs to stop. I can live this way forever. This forum and a couple of mailings that I subscribe to have helped me to find a substitute for pretty much everything that I could possibly miss.(except white bread, but I'll live!!)
Life is good and we can do this if we stay focussed!!
My motto is Go Hard or Go Home!!

Congratulations on your loss and your determination. We all get lazy at times but you know this is the way for you. Now get back on your path!

Hi Red! Congratulations on your success so far! I'm sure you'll do well, because you consider yourself to be 'messing around', not 'off the diet'. Accepting that this is a way of life is key.

I'd say 'good luck,' but luck has nothing to do with it. So I'll just say "enjoy"!!
