    I just started on Jan. 21st and have lost 14 lbs and 11 inches.. I have noticed an increased amount of energy and I love it... I also had 1 cheat day.. Pizza hut but I only had 2 pcs of pizza.. not recommending that to any one just saying that if I had stuck to it true blue I may have lost more.

    Keep up the good work ladies!

    Hey ladies,

    Looks like we have a good team and it seems like we all recently startes. I did the Atkins diet back in 2010 and lost about 60 pounds. I got married and just ate away and gained it all back and some. I started and did some type of induction but did not follow it to the t. I lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks and just binged on chips and pop two days in a row :( looking tomstart freshnagain and would like to maintain myself on extended induction until i loose the first 60 pounds. I have about 130 to loose

    Hey all, I'm seriously soooo excited to find Atkins supporters on MFP. Most people I talk to are atkin haters. I would love to have you all as support and support you as well. Getting married in August. Hoping to lose 60lbs by then. Think
    Atkins you could do it? I started jan 31st & have lost 3lbs! Not much so I am not sure if I am doing it right perfectly, but my withdrawals aren't terrible and I'm not miserable this round . Last time I was more miserable but lost drastically. Like 3lbs a day! Good luck to everyone feel free to add me!

    Anyone who'd like, please feel free to send me a friend request :) Low carb is the ONLY thing that has ever worked for me. I have yet to make it through induction. I always think I can add an english muffin for breakfast or brown rice for dinner. I really need some motivation from people with similar nutrition goals to stick with it.

    I'm pretty out of shape so I want to start with walking and maybe the couch to 5k program if anyone is interested in doing that also. Once my body is used to exercise I think incorporating strength training will be next.

    I am curious about low carb/Atkins. I've sorta tried it before for 4 weeks and was tired, lethargic and constipated. I quickly gave up. But wondering if maybe I start a little slower... what would happen. Looking for people who do Atkins so I can use their open diaries as inspirations and for ideas. Please add me as a friend and put ATKINS in the message so I know why you added me. Lol! That way I can remember who's diary I need to look at.

    Hello all :) I have been a memeber of MFP for almost a year but have had constant ups and downs. Mostly ups as in gaining lost weight back. For some reason I struggle with counting calories but am on Day 8 of induction and have yet to cheat. Would love some low carb friends. Please add me :)
