Introduction

Hi,

My name is Brenda.

I currently weight 218. I started atkins on Oct. 28 2008 at 245lbs.

I was on atkins before and went from 260 to 212. I got pregnant, while still loosing, but had to stop atkins. I gained and was at 255 when I had my baby. I lost a little before I started atkins. I am now decicated to losing weight. My small goal for the end of Feb. is to weigh 185 lbs. My far fetched goal is to weigh 150 lbs. I am hoping to reach this weight by my friends wedding in August.

Great loss so far!!! Good for you! Have you stayed on induction the entire time or moved on to another phase?

[Nativeamchick]

The past month I have moved on to the next phase, but my weight loss has stalled. I went back to induction thursday to see what I am doing wrong. I was at 220 since christmas. Now that I have gone back to induction, I have lost two more pounds. Looks like I will be on extended induction. At least till I get out of the 200's. I hate looking at the scale and seeing that 2 first. UGH!!!

Congrats on your loss and welcome to the board! Since you've done this before, you know pretty much what you're doing but don't hesitate to ask questions. There is a lot more information on here than in the book even though you should start with the book and refer to it often, just to be sure.

Keep us posted on your progress!

Btw...how's your little boy doing? I hope things are improving for him...is he still in the hospital?
