Atkins After a Miscarraige

[caseyconnelly]

Hello Everyone and thanks for welcoming me to your board.

My name is Casey a I recently started Atkins for the second time. The first time around was about five months ago, after I was married in April we went on a cruise where I gained 10 pounds in just 14 days! ug.

I went on Atkins and lost five pounds in the first week!! Stayed on Atkins but found myself stalling and gained about 2 pounds......It turned about I was about 3 weeks pregnant, which would explain the gain. This was our first baby......so I set no diet for myself and ended up gaining an additional 22 pounds by the fourth month....then lost the baby on 9/18.

I knew I needed to get right back on Atkins, and in the last week, I went down 7 pounds! Yesterday I also joined a gym....trying to fill the need to belong to something healthy and improve my sprirts.

We can try again for another baby in about two months!

I'm hoping to meet friends on the board to talk online and share support with.

Thanks again
Casey

Hi Casey,
Welcome

This is a great place for you to find support and encouragement. It sounds like you are thinking ahead and moving forward. Your first post and you are already an inspiration.

wow, 7 pounds in one week is excellent.

I am so sorry to hear about your miscarraige. Its really healthy that you are taking care of yourself on the whole. I truly feel for your loss and I think it is awesome that you are looking toward the future.

If you need to vent or have any questions dont hesitate to ask. Of course with the huge weight loss you have had I may be asking you!
