I'm A Returning Member

[odirish]

I have done Atkins before and lost maybe 10 lbs. I then fell off the wagon and gained even more back. 2 weeks ago, a co-worker said to me "you're getting a belly on you" That was enough for me to take charge and do something about my weight. I Re-started Atkins on Aug. 24th and have lost 8 lbs. so far. Once I hit 8 lbs, about 4 or 5 days ago, I stalled. I'm not giving up, hopefully the scale will begin to move again. I'm reluctant to join any challenges, because I always end up quitting. Hopefully I can stick with this and lose about40 more lbs.

Welcome back Mary Ann ~

You know the plan works you just need to get through the first few weeks and get back on track with your eating. Start exercising right away, drink plenty of pure water (64 ounces minimum daily – nothing added) and you’ll be on your way to loosing before you know it – don’t forget to get all your vegetables in daily!.

Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support.

At the top of the induction page you’ll find a condensed version of the book - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. Make a copy of this list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html - take it with you when you go to the store. If a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list don’t eat it. Learn to read the label on all foods you buy - don’t just look at the “carb” number look at the ingredients list of everything and check the ingredients against your list. Just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. Also check for hidden sugars (learn the names used in place of the word “sugar”).

Check the stickies at the top of the induction forum to refresh your memory on the plan. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/5781-before-you-begin-atkins-nutritional-approach.html.
