Guest guest Posted June 24, 1999 Report Share Posted June 24, 1999 , Keep in mind that this is not a quick weight loss diet.... if you lose 10 pounds and don't follow the plan... you will gain it back with interest!!! No fruit is allowed during the induction period. I would highly recommend that you read the full book prior to starting..... Good luck on your decision to lose the weight!!!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 1999 Report Share Posted June 25, 1999 Hi Michele, Welcome to the Atkin's Way of Life list. Don't you just love to hate scales? They can make or break our day in a heart beat. Personally I wish there could be an easier and less guilt ridden way of tracking a person's weight but there really isn't. You sound like you are doing things right and it should be no time at all before you begin to see your losses mount up no matter what starting weight you started with. All you will care about is how great you will look. Keep working hard and keep posting!! Bill 315/274/225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 1999 Report Share Posted June 26, 1999 Hi everyone! I just started the Atkins way of life on monday, doing great, feeling great! Very happy to have found this list! I used to be on Atkins, lost 32 lbs, and then lost sight of my dream. But like the name says, it is a way of life and am now working toward that goal! I'm 37, mother of twin 14 year old girls, massage therapist and certfied aromatherapist...how's that for starters?? :-) Take care!

Wish I could do that. But I'm an older lady and everything including me has slowed down. I'm such a slow loser, always have been. Maybe I'll get to what I want to be by the time I'm 90.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 1999 Report Share Posted July 6, 1999 <<I just started my 14 day induction diet today! I bought the book and decided to give it a try. I am 46 years old. >> Me too! I started 2 days ago, but I just bought the book today. I figure if I'm going to do it, I better read it over and know exactly what I'm getting into. It has been a hard couple of days, not to bad though, just a little hungry and craving carbs and sugar. I may be a little hungry because I ate too many carbs?? I am starting to understand the counting, now that I have the book. Anyone else experience this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 1999 Report Share Posted July 13, 1999 Hi Sue, I am Polly. I have just started the Atkins diet on Saturday and have a 5 pound loss. I am very pleased and thrilled with the food that is available. In fact I don't feel at all like I am on a diet. I want to lose 85 - 90 lbs, so I have a way to go and feel confident I can do it. Best, Polly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 1999 Report Share Posted July 22, 1999 I started the low carb diet a week ago. The best part is not really wanting any of that stuff.. In January I quit eating sweets,,, you know the 3 c's.. candy, cookies, cakes...etc.. I've always worked out - moderate cardio... I was surprised when nothing drastic happened in my weight when I cut out those sweets. I had heard every once in awhile people talk about the low carb woe but I didn't think I could ever do it.. I love (d) bagels... and how could go without my morning routine of something toasted.. Last Wed... I tried and started after I researched some on the web.. I ordered the book.. I received the book Saturday, then found out I was suppose to wait to start,, but I don't really have to lose that much weight.. 20 - 30 lbs. I've probably modified the induction part a bit more than I should. And I haven't eaten red meats in 20 years -- I'm not about to add that to my diet. I 've found celery and cream cheese an interesting/satisfying snack. It's interesting about snacking. It's so much easier to stop -- not like when I use to munch on cereal or harvest grain chips. well that's a little about me and this low carb eating.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 1999 Report Share Posted July 24, 1999 Dear Sue: Hi, my name is Faye. I am a private Nanny. I live in Austin, TX. I am 48, married and have 5 grandchildren. I need to lose 40 to 50 pounds! Right now I weigh 191 pounds, down from 207 in May. I am a total newbie or even a wannabe. I have the Atkins tape but I am not so sure yet. I would know better if real people(ha) will share their stories. I do have the ketostix ready, but haven't taken the plunge. Maybe this group will spur me on. Thanks, Faye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
