    Welcome! I done the Atkins for six months. Best of luck on your journey :) x
  • Hi,
    I have always relied on atkins to lose in the past - wanted to try counting calories this time. It's definitely slower than Atkins but I'm hoping will have the same results but only with a more balanced diet for the long term. In the end Atkins allowed me to keep over eating which is the real problem. I need to reduce how much I eat and eat a balanced diet.

    Hi, I just started day 1 today and have already been tempted to cheat. I took a breath and remembered that I have a goal and I need to stick to it. My health is more inportant than a whole milk tall tazo chai iced from Starbucks!!! My goal is to get past the induction and add food back slowly. One day at a time is key here. I have done Atkins once before and lost 40 lbs. I felt great, but feeling great made me lazy and bam the weight started creeping back. I want to change my eating habit and I want to succeed. We can and will do it, don't quit, I need you and all other Atkinites need you. Be strong! : )

    Welcome! I am an Atkins lover...been on it since last November and have lost about 40 pounds. I have fallen off of the wagon a few times (once for a vacation..and another time for some rough emotional moments)...but miraculously I didn't gain weight. :) I just got back on the wagon...and things are great.

    Good luck on your journey. There are a lot of people on here who enjoy and benefit from a low carb lifestyle. :)
