    Are you trying Atkins again or doing a different meal plan?

    I lost 83 lbs. 8 years ago doing low carb, but I couldn't sustain it indefinitely so I gained it all back plus some. But now with exercising, watching my calorie intake, and using the tools on MFP I feel like the sky is the limit. FINALLY a lifestyle I can adhere to!~

    When I first started my weight loss efforts back in my 20s (41 now), my partner and i lost quite a bit of weight on Atkins. It definately works, but we gained a good part of it back. I'm learning to approach food as an overall lifestyle change and realizing that in order to keep the weight off, I have to make daily good choices. You can do this!

    Low carb will knock some pounds off, but like everyone else says it will come back. You cant sustain that kind of eating style forever. Sensible well portioned meals is definitely is the way to go!
