Hello from a 2nd Timer in Texas

[klmagill]

My husband and I just started Atkins again for the second time. First time was about 5 years ago, and we both lost about 30-35 lbs. We became board with the diet and fell off the wagon, so to speak, and went back to our old habits of eating too much of all the foods we love. SOUND FAMILIAR??? We get so disgusted with ourselves!

Since that first time on Atkins, we've tried Nutrisystem, Weight Watchers, and now back to Atkins. We love being able to eat the fat and protein, so maybe we'll do better this time. It seems as though we can only eat well while we on a diet program, so I guess this is a lifelong thing.

welcome to the site!

Thanks for the warm welcome and I look forward to our communications! It's been 6 days, I've only lost 1 lb. I've truly been good, so any ideas for me?

[Razzle39]

Sure, post your menu. List everything including sweetners, coffee etc
Have you tried www.fitday.com This is a free site that you can enter in what you ate for the day and it will tell you how many hidden carbs you have had. It was a life saver for me.

I'm going to the site now ... thanks!

Welcome back! I know exactly what you mean, both my husband and I were on Atkins, did great, then slowly fell off. We both love to eat and it's hard when neither of us is motivated to stay on plan. I'm doing my darndest to stay on track, and my husband is now wanting to join me! Good luck to you this time around!
