Hello everyone! I'm Scott(doubledown11) and my wife is Haley(hmabry). We've both done the Atkins WOL before and been successful, so I expect great things from us. Unfortunately we let life get in the way sometimes and backslide. I'll let my wife speak for herself when she posts later. I've fought weight all my life. Been from an adult high weight of 374 last year to a low of 180 (early 20s on Optifast). And, yes, I've tried all the diets out there. The only thing that consistantly works for me is Atkins, when
I am consistent. Last oct - this feb I lost from 374 to 318 on Atkins but then had put back on to 348. I considered this a win since I've kept some off. I'm back on the program for a full week now and even though I'm not weighing every day I know I'm between 6 and 8lbs down. I have definately found that carbs and me dont mix after they leave my mouth and travel down
. I had all my levels checked the day before I started and surprisingly they were boarderline at worst and most were normal. They have gotten worse since 4 yrs ago so now is the time. I'm excited to jump back in and get moving again...slowly so I don't burn out (tend to be all or nothing). So, HAPPY 4th EVERYONE! Enjoy your protien!
