Default Hi Everyone...Glad I found this site!

My name is Emmy and I started on the Atkins diet three days ago and have already lost 7 pounds. Probably just water weight or something. I am in the very fatigued stage but I am better today than I have been in the last two days. I am hoping to lose the weight that I gained after I had my daughter (she is 4 now, I KNOW!). I have a long way to go. I decided that I needed to lost the weight definitely when my daughter asked me "Mommy, are you fat?" After that and the fact that while I was on my honeymoon in March 2007 there were things that we wanted to do that had weight limits on them. My husband is extremely skinny, and it just made me feel so bad. I am going to lose the weight for my daughter and my husband, but most of all for myself because I know that I can look good if I try.
I have been on diets before but I have never stuck with them because I always felt starving or I wanted something with sugar. This one seems to be keeping me full longer and I don't eat as much. I haven't even had a craving for sugar yet! I have read a lot of the success stories and I hope that I will be able to have a story on here someday saying that I have reached my goal. In total I need to lose 150 pounds so I will see how it goes. I just hope that I keep up with this one and don't get off track again. Anyway, I am glad that I found this forum and I hope to be on here as much as I can to stay on track.

Warm welcome to the board Emmy. Glad you're finding that Atkins is keeping you full longer than other diets. It's true... and if we do get hungry, we eat!!
As long as you stick to the plan and eat to feed your hunger only (without going beyond), you'll be a success story!

Happy losing!

Welcome, Emmy! We started off at near the same weight and I needed to lose 150, too. I'm closing in on goal & and have never enjoyed my food so much. I had serious surgery a little over a week ago, and my sister (non-cooking) came from another state to take care of me. I cooked up a bunch of Atkins friendly dishes and froze them in individual servings so I could stay legal. My sis is skinny as a pole, but she has tried nearly everything, and loved it all. As bad as she hates to cook, she has asked for recipes and said that they were so good that she wold cook them. You will enjoy this so much!

Sunny!
