My Atkins story:

[Hinari]

Hello people, Im really happy to join this forum. Well I actually live in Costa Rica, so I visit the latino forum more often, but I thought it would be great to share with you guys my story, ideas and stuff.
First of all, sorry if some of my ideas arent well written or something, I'm still learning english so....

Well one year ago I tried this same atkins style I did well for almos 8 months, I lost 14 Kg... ermmm I guess you talk in pounds right? 30.8 pounds... I was very happy and it happens very fast and with no plateau issues. But since I suffered a terrible depression because I had serious problems at home I lost control of my life including my food habits. So I gained like 10 Kg... . Now I've been on induction for almost two months, very happy Lost 8 kg , Im ready to battle... for ever!
I will show you some pics, of my change.


The first pic was took like two years ago, The second one was when I reached my wish weight and the third is my actual status... Any comment is welcome... I'm 18 years old, live alone now feel better, studing medicine. Feel better than ever!

hi hinari! Welcome to the board. Sometimes emotional eating does get in the way. It's great that you recognize your eating was due to what was happening around you.

If you've been on induction for 2 months, I would recommend you start bumping yourself up the food ladder (See the Ongoing Weightloss Forum). The point of eating this way is to learn how to eat healthy, which includes additional veggies as well as food from most other categories as well. Also, most people find when they do start bumping up the food ladder as Dr. Atkins wanted us to, it actually kick starts their weight loss again.

Come around the board often, it's also a great way to keep yourself in check!

Thanks to you all! Im very happy... and Sillygirl, well actually this week I started with it, three days at a week and add 5 ch grams of salad, I havent seen many changes but I thinks it's normal since what I need to loose is not that much as it was before. Thanks . I will love to post a lot jejeje :P

[sillygirl]

Love to hear that! You'll see, it will be fine and a few more veggies never hurt anyone!
