Default Starting Over

Hello to everyone!
I have been reading all your posts and information for the last week and it is incredible. Thanks for all the advice and info, I really feel like you will be able to help me stay on track.

My story - Abput seven years ago I was @ 183 lbs. and feeling horrible. I was diagnosed with Lupus and slept all the time. After two years of feeling crappy, I decided to change my life and started Atkins. I lost 35 lbs. and after that the doctors could not find any sign of lupus in my blood tests, it was a real miracle. Over the last few years, I have felt great and have been playing tennis, hiking and exercising like crazy. Recently my weight creeped back up and I was at 168. People say I look great still but I am started to feel tired. I have been eating whatever I wanted for the last few years. I have tried Atkins few times recently but it didn't work. I forgot all the important rules and didn't have the book.

Anyway, I need to make a change before I get sick again, so I started Atkins on Monday 4/2 and have already lost 7 lbs. I am doing this together with my friend.. (she is going to post too). My goal is 140..and I know I can do it!!

Thanks for all your posts, they are great and inspiring

Welcome to ADBB DisneyGirl. Glad to have you around!

It's cool that you're doing this with a friend. You can support and encourage each other, which is a nice bonus.
You mentioned not having the book. It would be a really worthwhile investment. If you do decide to get it, choose the 2002 edition which is the last one Dr A wrote in its entirety.

Happy losing!

Sorry DG... I just read your friend's post and see that you gave her a copy of DANDR... so that probably means you already have one... that's cool!

Hey there DG! Welcome to the board. It sounds like you've made some great friends already here. Eating this way with friends is a terrific way to keep the course! Who is "your friend", you said she will post too?
