New Again:

[Acts2:38]

Hi my name is Sarah It has been about 3 years since I lost 45 pounds in 5 1/2 weeks on Atkins. Since that time I had another baby, a girl 1 year old in mid. June. I just finished weaning her from nursing. I have gained every bit of weight back since that time and weigh a pound more then when I started.
I want to get back on Atkins because #1 I know it works, #2 It was the best I ever felt in my life.
I am a little nervous because my mother keeps telling me someone died in Oxford from Atkins.. Does anyone know about this? I guess it has been so long since I did this and I have had such negetive views since I lost all that weight.
I just need some encouragement. I need to loose 80 pounds. Wow. that hurts to type. I want to be healthy. I want to be healthy for my kids!
Is anyone starting induction tomorrow?
Thanks Sarah

Welcome aboard, Sarah!

Regarding the Oxford article, I think it might be floating in here somewhere. One of the mods will come by and straighten me out if I'm wrong, but I think that that woman's death was completely unrelated to Atkins. Look at it this way, how is it bad to eat whole, nutritious foods? Meat, fish, chicken, veggies . . . adding in fruits and grains later on? Seriously, I haven't eaten so healthy in my entire life! More veggies pass my lips now than ever before!

I also had 80 pounds to lose, but am now just over halfway to my goal. You can do it, sister! Keep the faith!

Good luck and I can't wait to see your successes!
