Hi Everyone! I'm new to the board (glad to have found it) and beginning Induction on Monday!!!
I did Atkins about 5 years ago and lost a total of 86 lbs. I'm so sad to be back where I started. This time I am doing it "medically supervised" ... Yesterday, I had all of my blood work drawn, my doctor will be monitoring my progress and repeating blood work every 3 months and I am also seeing a psychologist that specializes in weight loss. My diet will also be evaluated by a dietician familiar with Atkins. This was the only way I thought I could do it and have lasting progress this time!
I am missing some of the motivation I had the 1st time I did this but I am determined to find it. I am one of the most confident, strong willed women I know .... it seems so crazy that losing weight seems unfathomable. I also have to get better at drinking water!!!!
So I'm starting Atkins and I'm looking to all of you for support ... and I'll give it back!
Ready ... Set .... Go
