This isn't my first low-carb go-round. I did the original Atkins in 1972. I'm doing Weight Watchers right now, but I'm limiting the carbs to just fruits and vegetables.

Hello everyone. I am now in my second week of induction phase of atkins. I have tried low carbs before, several years ago. I was successful both times but didn't follow the diet through properly and ended putting it back on.

This time I have done my research and am trying to do things by the book. I find it so much fun learning new things and new recipes. I would love some more friends to support and exchange thoughts and recipe ideas with so please feel free to add me

Good luck everyone!

Hello! I’m Shannon -aka- TheFutureMrsM2015 (getting married September of 2015).

Earlier this year I made a commitment to get healthy, not skinny. I was to be turning 25 in March and I felt like I lived my life on the side lines, never actually living. I wanted to give myself another day to live with the love of my life. I researched and researched until my head exploded, so much information on the damn internet. But, you know what happened. Another round of fad diets, weight loss gimmicks and no weight loss.

I lived a not so great childhood, adopted into a family that seemed loving on the outside but riddled with mental and emotional abuse. 25 years of it and the only thing I felt I could control was my food. Last week, I was forced to cut off all contact with them due to threats and hateful messages. So much so, that I had to change contact information. It wasn’t what I wanted to happen, but it needed to. My idealized thought of the perfect family shattered. My daddy no longer there to walk me down the aisle. I was heart broken. But, then I realized my excuse of why I was fat and unhealthy was gone. I was scared. Now what? Now what if I try again and I fail? Worse yet, what if I succeed? I haven’t had much success in life…I’m scared of it. I self sabotage like the best.

But, now I’m feeling determined. I will succeed, it will take time though. It won’t happen overnight like I want. It won’t happen with pills, shakes or wraps. It won’t happen by binging then purging. It WILL happen with hard work, sweat, tears and determination.

I've been diagnosed, recently, with a plethora of medical issues (PCOS, Pre-Diabetes, Hypothyroidism) and because of that, my doctor has recently put me on a very low carb, moderate protein and high fat diet. I got a lot of information, took classes and read up on this form of my new LIFESTYLE and will be starting it TOMORROW (6.25.14). Please note this when you look at my diary.

Hello! I am coming back to MFP and looking for new friends! I have had long term success with lower carb and higher calorie diets, something I know I can sustain for life. I have gained and lost over and over and dealt with binging and other EDs. I try to be aware of the calories I consume but I no longer make myself crazy with numbers. FR please!

I joined the group for some help with getting the last 24 pounds off! I am averaging 35-40 net carbs a day (this week 48,29,25,43,60,26,28) and just not loosing very much. I have been at it for almost 2 weeks and have lost 1 lb! I'm looking for any help available from others out there who are having sucess!

Hello! This is my first time trying Atkins, and also my first time posting on a message board (ever)! I just completed my first day of the Atkins Induction and was pleasantly surprised that I did not feel hungry at all today. The hardest part is going to be resisting alcohol and appetizers at our weekend barbecues.

Married with two children, ages 3 and 1

My initial plan is to do Phase 1 of the Atkins diet to detox myself from alcohol, sugar, and bread. If I see results, then I will continue into Phase 2. If not, I will re-evaluate my plan and possibly go with clean eating instead. I am hoping that by finding other people who are doing or have done Atkins, that I will feel supported and motivated to continue.

Hello all
I am back on Atkins after successfully losing over 80 pounds a few years ago. I did well maintaining my weightless or at least staying within a manageable range until about a year ago but recommitted myself to my vow to never gain it all back. After a solid week on induction I am doing well. This is my first time using MFP and I love it!

Hello I am very new to low carb.

MY plan.. Reducing carbs, generally eating healthier, might sneak in an egg fast or two , just because I've never done it before and am curious.. walking

My weaknesses are: Muscular dystrophy limits my activity. Food weaknesses are anything of the Mexican variety and milk.

My passions: Witchcraft and College football.. Roll Tide!!

My strengths are: Being able to take this to a spiritual level by doing meditations and energy work to assist me towards my goals.
