OK I'm starting a new "diet" right now! I logged into this website having never used it before. It's great! I've already logged in breakfast and love the way it keeps track. I can now see what I have left for the day rather than trying to keep track in my head. Obviously that doesn't work!

I'm 50 years old and three years ago I lost 103 lbs on the Aitkin Diet. I have since regained 50 lbs and I have to stop this! After repeated trys at Aitkins and not losing anything I have finally decided that I just need to keep track of what I eat. I feel optimistic about this and raring to go!

Would love to hear from others! Have a great day.

Jackie

    HELLO!!! I too am starting on my adventure to weight lose. I was on the South Beach diet and lost 30 lbs (I'm small statue, so 30 lbs on me was alot), and loved it but the minute I got off it I gained it all back, and now I'm also sold on the "you have to watch how much you eat" not the "what" you eat. I too am new to this website and also I'm loving the tracking, how easy it is to get your info listed, and it's free!!

    Hi! You are so right. I've tried induction again so many times without losing much. The first time I was on it I lost 13 lbs the first two weeks. It was so easy to stay on Aitkins and I lost 103 lbs. Then when I started not keeping track and "allowing" myself things I hadn't had in years, the weight started creeping back on. I have gained back 50 lbs and I have to stop this in it's track or I will regain all the weight.

    This program will help and so will the support of the group. That is what we're here for right?!

    Nice hearing from you.

    I THINK JUST PUTTING THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FOOD & EXERCISE IN OUR LIVES WILL ALL BALANCE OUT. DIETS REALLY DO NOT WORK! APPETITE SUPPRESANTS MAKE YOU FULL & THEN WHEN YOU LOOSE YOU WILL GAIN IT BACK CUZ YOUR BOD IS NOT USED TO FOOD! SOOO.... EAT HEALTHY & EXERCISE SHOULD WORK! RIGHT? GIVE ME YOUR OPINIONS TOO!!

    I think you're right about balance. It's hard to do though. Especially the exercise part. I have a treadmill and stationary bike at work and I think I'll go in early to use them before the place opens up.

    I've never really tried the suppressants. I'm not sure how they work but I do think if you use this tool for tracking cals, carbs, etc, and introduce exercise you should be able to lose.

    Have a great day all!
