I am getting closer and closer to recommitting to this way of life. I have learned from Atkins over the years that it is a lifelong commitment and not a quick fix. Having reached goal before and deciding to go on my own... I regained it all back and here I am. I have to commit to all of it or it doesn't work. Plus, it is so much harder the second (and third) time around to lose as quickly.

So, I am looking at a re-start day of Sunday. DH is heading out of town, the big Halloween...

Okay, I didn't listen to the good doctor and have all my bloodwork done prior to Atkins but I had some drawn today. I should know the results next week I suppose.

The reason the tests were ordered (mostly looking at the thyroid) is because of an irregular heartbeat. I have always had heart palpitations but now my heart is pretty much constantly going nuts and I am so very tired all the time. So the doc said it could be my thyroid.

I have always been a very healthy person...

So I just started a week ago. And I've been strict. But no weight loss or size change. I know a week isn't much.
But I also know that antidepressants can slow things down.
Unfortunately, my physician says I absolutely cannot reduce to go off these meds.
What to do?

Well, Monday will be 2 months since I started Atkins. I have lost 28 pounds. I love that! I weigh every Saturday morning and measure. This morning I didn't show a weighloss but I did lose 1 1/2 inches. However I keep losing it from my booty. I really don't want to lose it there. Too bad you can't just say TUMMY go away!!!!!

Well, at least its coming off!
