Today is day 2 of induction. I successfully used the Atkins program five years ago and lost 32 pounds!! I was so proud of myself and had committed to following the program from then on. However, after 2 more children (I already had 3), the pounds began to creep back on. After several stressful years for various reasons, I stepped on the scales a couple of days ago and realized not only had I gained back the 32 pounds, but an additional 3. To add insult to injury, my DH made several remarks that evening about me being back up to my "fighting weight". I was crushed. I began the plan again yesterday morning, made a stop by the pharmacy to pick up some much needed vitamins, and woke up this morning to find that 2 pounds are already gone. I am so glad to find this forum as I feel like I have no support. It feels good already to just be able to vent my feelings. My goal is to drop at least 20 pounds by my birthday (90 days away). Then, I would like to shed the last 15 by the end of November.
