Hello, back again!

Hi all.
I've been on the Atkins plan since July and have lost about 20 pounds. I keep gaining and losing the last 3 because I've been cheating the past month or so. Atkins works so well for me because I'm so addicted to carbs, and all it takes is one chip to set me off!

So, I'm recommitting myself, which started Monday. I found this website and figured I'd introduce myself. I've already seen some great recipes. That's one of my problems... I get in a rut over what I eat. I get squirrelly when it's the same every day!

I need to go down another 30 to get rid of the excess baby/wedding weight. Wish me luck? It's so hard to stay motivated when almost everyone I know scoffs at my way of eating.. and tells me I'm going to have a heart attack because I'm on the "bacon" diet!

Good Luck!!!

You should find all the support, motivation and inspiration you need here!

yeah.....its very hard to follow this plan if you allow others comments and/or suggestions to enter your mindset. one of my toughest hurdles is my wife LOL......her mom is a very good cook, but i cannot eat a lot of the stuff she prepares. and then so, my wife will say, "this wont hurt you" or "i can't believe you cant have that".........and in some way at times, i think i hurt her feelings when i reject something.

well, whatever the case.....this is how its gonna be. i am gonna set down the rules for what types of food i put into my body. no suggestions, no requests, no "aww.....c'mon, just a little."

i have put the induction list on the fridge so......and that will be my bible so to speak.
