Newbie from the Netherlands

[Alexis Kate]

Hey everyone,

My name is Alexis and I live in the Netherlands.
I started with Atkins last Tuesday at 222 pounds and so far, so good. I am at 215 at the moment, but need to go down to 150 according to the BMI index.
This has been the only "diet" so far that I don't feel deprived and I am not walking to the fridge every two seconds.
I feel really good about even keeping it up a week because it's easy.

(I wonder how I will be feeling in 2 weeks time).

Good night everyone!

Welcome, Alexis!

Congratulations on the great start!

As to how you will feel in two weeks time, probably happier and more energetic than ever!

Hello Alexis

My guy is a Dutchman and he and I are doing the Atkins diet together. He is feeling very happy with it as he has lost about 3 kilos in the first week. Last year he tried the Sonia Bakker and was very bad-tempered!

I hope you enjoy the diet and keep up the great weight loss.

Thank you everone for your best wishes, I feel good on Atkins.

It still feels strange because it seems too easy compared to every other way I have tried to lose weight and you can eat things that you can't eat on other diets. It's just reprogramming my mind really after all those years on diets just being able to eat salad.
And going out to dinner is so much easier than before.
Why didn't I try this 15 years ago.

Everyone in Holland is on the " Sonja Bakker bandwagon" , they weight goes off but for a lot of people it comes right bank on.

Take care,
Alexis
