OK, now that I have vented, cried, cleansed and all that, I started my life change today.

I know, plans are never good to start out with like Sugar Busters, Atkins, yatta yatta yatta, but I have been reading all weekend and I am convenced that I have to do what works for me.

Yep, Atkins.

I lost so much weight and I did not miss the sweets. Than I started letting people talk me out of it because it was not right for them and really and honestly, became worked up in their way of thinking.

So, now, here I am, all the weight back because I just got tired of the crap people belt out with their opinions and what not and I am back on track......

Always listen tou your body, do what's best for you and to heck with others talking you out of something with their negativity.

I have been negative for too long because of others and yes, I am to blame, for not walking away and continuing to walk on in my journey.

I went from 289 to 239 with Atkins. Then the next phase I went from 239 to 200. I felt great, was up and out and smaller.....

Then I had to have a emergency Hysticopy with tubaligation w/endametria, and went right back into Atkins and all I heard was a big hen party about how I need more fat, more cals more sugar and I let it build up.

But the hysterectomy is over and I have been given a clean bill of health to resume and with you all and this wonderful site, I will succeed.


Thank you all and for the newbies on here, stick with it. We don't offer opinions unless you ask, but we do offer strength and holding your hand!!!!

    The side effect of halitosis (bad breath) keeps me from doing Atkins. That and I like to eat whatever I like. :smile:

    The great thing about MFP is you can use the calorie counter (food diary) and eat whatever you'd like (you'll find out fast that healthy eating usually means you can eat more) and watch the portions.

    A lot of people like Atkins, the rest of us like to get close to someone else without being offered a mint. HAHA!

    I wish you the best.

    I never had the bad breath, how odd, I have heard some do and some don't.

    I hope you don't. The process that makes Atkins work is called, "ketosis" and the most common side effect of ketosis is a metallic taste in the mouth, or bad breath. I had both when I did Atkins.

    I never have done Atkins so don't know how that works. I just know when I eat healthy and keep my food diary I have lost the weight. I go out and eat also and I do loose the lbs. You just have to choose what is right for you. So keep up the good work . Also can't stress enough to drink your water that really helps. :drinker: :drinker:
