[Lunachick1]

I have been strugling with my weight since i was 7 years old. I have been on and off this diet since i was 15. when i had my second child i went back onto atkins and lost 60 pounds in 4 months. i was amazed! But i went onto a vacation and never went back on the diet. Now one more child and 110 pounds later here i am. I cant beleive i let myself get to this point. But i am READY to make a change. i have been on the diet now for 3 days. I have the induction flu and have lost 1 pound. yipee! I just want to feel normal for once in my life. I am ready!

There's your problem right there. A diet is something you go on and then go off, and you just gain the weight right back. All the fat comes back and brings friends. Wipe that diet word right out of your head, and you will lose the weight and keep it off. Welcome!

Sunny!

Welcome back to this WOE. Eating this way, induction flu and 1 pound gone sounds to me like you're doing A-ok!

Hang in there! We are all here for you! I too gained almost 120 pounds with my first child, lost half of it, then pregnant again....lost almost all the weight, then pregnant with my third and final child..I couldn't get my weight off! I was on Atkins before, and lost an amazing 67 pounds in just a little over two months. Though in second week on Induction, I had totally lost my appetite. I had to make myself eat. The pounds were coming off quick. For some reason, I got off the plan, and put on 10 pounds in two years. Not too bad, but now I'm back! So hang in there! WE CAN DO IT!!
