DougC42182 is on a distinguished road
Default Steady Progress

I started a month and a week ago, and have lost 13 pounds. This diet seems to really work for me. I had a rough time of it the first week or so, but I must say my cravings for carbs and sugar and junk food are all but gone. I never thought I would be able to turn down pasta and cakes and chocolate and all the things I love, but I do it and don't really think much of it! I won't lie, I eat an Atkins bar every day (sometimes 2). But I think it's better than eating a Snickers any day of the week. And it hasn't seemed to put a damper on my weight loss, so I'm going to stick with it. My goal is to lose 50 total pounds by the end of this year. I think this is an attainable goal. Wish me luck!

Oh, I love those bars!!! I have given them up, I only ate them before I found ADBB. I am to worried about anything stalling me, but I am so glad they aren't hurting your weight loss. Good for you!!!

The bars make the inside of my mouth itch!!

Good job on your progress, Doug.....I used to hide sweets like chocolate in the house pre-atkins, but I faced that demon and booted him out and I tell ya...it feels so good not to be obsessed with a food like that anymore!

..and I'm cheap...terribly cheap...I'd rather save the $$ and buy new clothes...lol

I'm so glad you found a woe that fits! I can totally relate, this woe fits me like a glove. A year and half without one single cheat. You're gonna be one of our lifelong goalies!
