Hello Atkins people

[GaynorA]

Hello there. Oh ... you look so fab in your pics. Gives me hope! Thanks for the message. I'm finding this board so great. It's really motivational. Yeah .. the meds! I can't stop 'em. They are the only thing that make it possible for me to work fulltime while being disabled. So .. we endure on. But I've realised that I'm probably not eating enough and not drinking enough water. So those are my positive changes for this week. Lotsa luv to you.

Just testing my ticker.

Okay ... BIG decision time. I'm stuck at 14lbs. Sooooo ... I'm figuring ... time to give up the coffee. AAAAARRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. That terrifies me. So badly. I get the most AWFUL migraines when I try to quit coffee. I'm thinking I will wean myself down over the weekend. Then by mid next week I should be clear. Go back to induction - and then see what happens. Wish me luck. Actually ... wish my poor partner luck. Oh dear ... I suspect there may be a rampant bear with a sore head in the house.

Hiya GaynorA and welcome! Nice to "meet" you here, though I've seen you posting around the board.

Second time around is usually slower...but the weight will come off. Think direction rather than speed. Meds also can have an effect on weight loss, so it's worth experimenting where and if you can with dosages/necessity etc.
Sounds like you know what you're doing and realise that if you eat too little you body will indeed go into starvation mode. Being aware is great... means you'll solve any little hiccoughs along the way, just fine.

Looking forward to reading of your success!
