Hello from Miami

[carmenziliao33175]

Hello everyone:
I'm a RN from Miami, Florida originally from Havana Cuba. This is my second time on Atkins and the first time I lost 40 pounds in one year. I have been trying to loose weight for a long time now and tried almost every diet and diet pill out there. Well, since I love eating meat and eggs Atkins is the only diet that I can eat as much meat as I want without feeling guilty. I do miss eating icecream, cakes and all "the good stuff" that makes us fat, but this is my 15th day of the induction phase and have not cheated even once .
I got married two years ago and have a cute boy (1year old) and now I'm 40 lbs heavier than I was when I got married. So here I'm again, trying to go down to at least 140 lbs... So far I have lost 9 lbs but there are days when I feel like quiting. That's why I'm here

Hi there,

Welcome to the board. I am comparatively new. I really know what you meant by "after loosing 40lb in a year you let it go"
I had few loosing ends from the time I have joined. I think being humans we tend to have loose ends. The only thing is we got to jump back as soon as possible. When my bad habbits creeps I never let it be there more than two days. I think that was the secret with me. I think if you try that you can stay bit longer.
Nice to meet you.

Welcome to the boards! It's great that you have come here to avoid quitting! That is a sign of success! Congratulations on a cheat free induction. It can be soo hard especially the first few days. Those ice cream cravings are killer! Right now I'm moving out of the brownie craving into the birthday cake craving.. ugh but I'm making it through and you can too. It's all about being in a good mindset.. keep up the great work!
