    I'll be doing atkins again tomorrow. Today i ate loads of carbs after more than two week in induction. Hopefully I will have enough will power to continue doing atkins again until i got my ideal weight. I would love to have friends support while doing this. Lets do it together. Add me as a friend.

    Today is week 5 for me and I'm down 9 pounds. I'm officially a low carb believer after repeatedly trying low fat diets and feeling so hungry. This has been working with minimal effort. I don't have any cravings and I'm eating a lot of delicious food. Feel free to add me as well - always like to be supportive of others! I did have a bunch of "low carb flu" symptoms - headaches, jitters, and I couldn't sleep very well for the first week - but those sorted themselves out quickly.

    One thing I've found works for me is to plan plan plan plan. If you plan your meals for the week and keep your fridge stocked w/ no/low carb snacks you're going to do just fine!

    Anyone doing Atkins/low carb/keto is welcome to add me as a friend. I started here on MFP back in April, counting calories only, and my weight loss was extremely slow, which was a surprise since I have so much weight to lose. I kept getting stuck at plateaus so I decided to try something different.

    In August I started low-carb/Atkins and I've lost about 15 pounds since then. After the initial adjustment period I've felt really good and have a lot of energy. Plus it is a lot easier for me to stay within my calories when I'm eating low carb. And if I happen to go over my calories for a day or two it doesn't seem to slow down my weight loss (at least not yet...I'm sure it will when I get closer to goal).

    My weight loss stops every month during that "crazy week" but otherwise I have lost weight every single week since then.

    I just completed week 1 of Atkins and am down 6 lbs. Getting through the first 3-4 days was the hardest. I have a friend who did Atkins and lost 58 lbs. in her first 3 months. She's down to goal weight now and is my motivator.
