I've Lost 20 lbs in 25 days

[shari_dawn]

I had a fight with a friend who said the atkins diet was not healthy... it was the easy way out... OOOHHH I was mad. I asked her what she ate that day and if she was hungry... she told me and yes she was hungry. I told her I'm never hungry.. in fact for lunch that day 2 small salmon fillets with a side cup of broccoli and a cup of raspberries. Whats dieting about that? Well I cannot wait to tell her today that I finally weighed myself (I said i would not for 2 months) and that I've already lost 20.5 lbs and that was at night after dinner. As far as it being the easy way out I beg to differ... I work my tail off. Literally. I walk over 4 miles briskly mostly up hill 4 days a week and tae bo 3. So who is better off of her diet! Now I feel like a snickers in celebration.. but I refrained and "cheated" with an atkins bar. I know their labels lie but I had the carbs to spare anyway. Best of Luck to everyone trying to lose!!! This diet works.

Wow! Great job Shari! That's awesome, I hope I'm as lucky as you and can lose that much by the end of the October!

I think Atkins takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Your friend is wrong!
I don't think people really know what atkins is until they start this wol.

Anyway, congrats on the 20 lbs lost

I do consider Atkins to be the easy way out. I get to eat decadent foods, am never hungry, and absolutely love the healthy foods that I eat and have still lost well over 100 pounds and improved my health in so many ways, I could shout for joy!!! It's the easiest 'diet' I ever did! I have sooo many options and no card-board tasteless food in sight.

Besides--she's just jealous! Congrats on your super success!

Sunny!

Hi Shari_dawn,

I need an exercise plan that is fun and exciting. Can you lend some advice?

Thanks

And good luck with the rest of your plan.

Congrats on the weight loss so far, and its probably more since you weighed in at night! Give yourself a nice pat on the back for passing up that snickers bar, you see that sticking is the right thing to do and the great results that come with it!
