Talking It's my first time and Im EXCITED!!

Hi My Name Is Nicole. 7 Weeks Ago Tomorrow I Had A Beautiful Baby. She Was 9pds 8oz. As You Can See She Was A Big Girl So I Gained Alot Of Weight. I Gained About 80pds With My Pregnancy. My Mother Has Been Doing Atkins For Along Time And Has Had Such Good Results. I Have Tried Everything So I Figured What The Heck I Might As Well Give It A Shot. I Am Very Motivated To Do This. I Suffer From Chronic Depression And Always Have My Whole Life But Its Time To Make Changes And Im Ready. Wish Me Luck

Hello Nicole. Congrads on your recent addition. Stick it out and you will see how, after your 3rd day, easy this diet is. There is no way, if you dedicate yourself, that you will fail and give in to temptations. My only regret is that I hadnt done Atkins a lot earlier. You'll do fine. Remain strong and focused. Good luck. God Bless, Joe

Congrats on the new baby!!! So exciting.

Just keep in mind Ketosis (which is the process you will go through when doing Atkins) is not healthy for you or the baby if you are breast feeding! If you are breast feeding, I'd hold of on Atkins until you're done nursing... If you aren't nursing then have at it!!! Good luck and stay strong!

Welcome to the Boards! Congrats on the new baby! Both of my kids were almost 10 pounds-both c sections. I picked the dates- I dont do labour- it is in my contract! I gained so much weight with my kids - then after they were born, I gained a belly and lots of stretch marks. I missed that in my contract! My story has been one of weight loss and gain-but mainly the gain. I too struggle with depression but this is a time in my life where I am gaining control and am achieving great things in my weight loss journey. I am down 24 pounds since mid Jan. It has not always been an easy process but it is SO worth it. Stay strong and clean and always keep the goal in mind! You can do this!

Welcome! We heard from your mom that you were coming. I think it's great that you will be on here together! Atkins is really wonderful, so you will get rid of those extra pounds before you know it.

Sunny!

Welcome Nicole! What a blessing, a baby girl.. Congratulations! Rosy cheeks, a sweet smile, sparkle in her eyes, innocence and purity - a gift of love.

Your journey begins here with the addition to your family and taking care of, but that also includes yourself

My story is short, two weeks ago I had glucose of 266 and had mild diabetic depression. Today is day 14 of Induction. Ten pounds lost, and glucose of 93. And guess what, no depression! You are definately on the right path to being a healthier "you".. Good luck and Best wishes! Robin
