hi there

[sugarsack]

hi there i am Sugarsack in beautiful Portland Oregon , i have been searching the internet for Atkins tips and how to's but i thought all the messages were years old, i am so please to see people still on here, i am always years behind the "fad" so to speak. tomorrow (sunday) marks 3 weeks on atkins - staying on induction for a while as i love it, its so easy to stick to, and believe me i have never stuck to anything ever ! and i am not hungry, at all. I am 10 pounds down (miracle) i had to do something when i saw the scale hit 300, i was hovering around 297-299 for months but never thought i would see the dreaded 300, never let myself think i was even close to 300. i was trying to fool myself, until the number came up and i had to acknowledge it.

anyway, i am glad to be here and will be cruising thru and reading everything i can to keep up the motivation, but believe me not being hungry and 10 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks is motivation !
thanx,

SS

Hi there I am in Oregon too, Albany area though I completely relate to and agree with everything you said in your post. I freaked when I went to the doctor and the scale said 305 pounds. I started Atkins the next day and that was over a month ago now. I have never been hungry and its been wonderful! I had given up the hope of even thinking I COULD lose weight. Good luck to you! There is great support here that has been very motivating for me
