Guest guest Posted May 10, 1999 Report Share Posted May 10, 1999 Hi I'm Irene and today is day number one. It's very hard and I have a headache (carb withdrawal) I guess. I'm leary of this diet and need a lot of encouragement - like how much weight everyone has lost and their cholesterol levels and how they feel. I have always been a carb eater and this goes against everything I believe it. But people all around me are losing weight and getting healthier. I want to feel better. I crave sugar all the time and I do believe this is physical rather than mental. I tried Overeater Anonamous for awhile, but - while I'm religious (spiritual I shoudl say). I do believe my binge eating is a physical craving and not emotional. Thanks for being there. Irene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 1999 Report Share Posted May 11, 1999 Hi! I am pretty much an Atkins veteran, but with one problem.... I usually go on Atkins for about 2 months and then go back to my nasty habits!!! This time I have vowed not to do that. Tomorrow is my 14th day and I am 13 pounds down!!!! I create a lot of recipes because I love to cook. I have a large collection of recipes if anyone is interested, they range from my favorite lasagna to chicken salad. I really need the support this time!! I am looking forward to being a part of the group. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 1999 Report Share Posted May 13, 1999 Hi, I started the atkins diet on 4/15/99. I did two weeks induction and lost 7 pounds, but gained back two on my third week. This might be because of TOM paying a visit. I am always looking for new recipes, making new dishes is my hobby. I am short of good low carb recipes and always want more tish _________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 1999 Report Share Posted May 14, 1999 Good Morning from CO My name is and I've recently reached senior citizen status - fortunately for me the age limit keeps getting younger each year, it seems <BG> Married and 6 'kids' are out of the nest although one bachelor stays with us about a week when he comes to check on us -often. So, I just need to vent this and perhaps it will help me to quit being my own worst enemy. It seems like every day I am starting Induction. But, a couple days ago, I really thought I was going to make it. I had a great low-carb day. The next morning I was really on a high about it and said several times that I really did it! That afternoon, my husband had done some shopping and brought a bag of a favorite candy home and laid it on the table. Well . . .naturally! I know he really bought it for himself (truly) but *sometimes* he'll put it on the table and expects me to discipline myself. He doesn't see the temptation as he can discipline himself to almost anything. I honestly don't think he even thought about sabotage - he's not a mean person. I guess when he leaves the house I should tell him not to bring back any carbs for me. I just thought of that while I am now typing. I don't know if there are other ways I can try as well. Do any of you have trouble with sabotage? mary w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 20, 1999 Report Share Posted May 20, 1999 Hello! My name is Terri and I am 29 with 2 children. I had my second in November and gained 60 pounds with that pregnancy on top of the 60 I had gained in the previous 2 years. Sooo, I have lost 50 and I have 70 more to go. I have been doing atkins on and off since Jan. and love the way that I feel but I get very discouraged when I stall, which leads to cheating which makes my problem worse. I love having support of list like these and look forward to reading it daily. >Hello, > >Welcome to the list.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 1999 Report Share Posted May 22, 1999 Hi, I just joined this list after receiving my new " Atkins " book in the mail. I wasn't sure what this " diet " was like but am wondering if this way of eating can really be successful full time. Atkins says you eat til you're full but I'm not sure that I can NOT eat when I'm not hungry. It's a habit to pop food in my mouth. I can't imagine living without eating carbs but guess I can try it for 2 weeks. I've been following Weight Watchers but the weight is coming off very slowly. Thought a jump start with Atkins would help. I'm 100 lbs overweight, 52 yrs. old and crippled with arthritic knees. Physical therapy (exercise on land and water) is helping a great deal. I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences on Atkins way of eating. in Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 Hi Shirley, You may want to consider short term pharmaceutical therapy, with or without counseling to handle the depression. Mild or severe, depression can inhibit even the best intentions of losing weight, and basic overall functioning. Consider it, it may make a big difference for you.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 1999 Report Share Posted May 24, 1999 Hi, Here's my introduction. I discovered this WOE before Christmas last year. I did real good on it for a while, but got bored during the holidays and gave it up for a while. Fortunately I didn't gain back any of the weight I lost. I started again a few weeks ago and plan to stick with it this time. It's going to be a lot easier for me this time, because my best friend and another friend from work are also doing it. But the best thing is my husband started Atkins a week ago and he is just doing great! I hope to get lots of support and good tips and ideas from this list. If anyone has any good recipes to pass along to me, I would really appreciate them. Thanks for letting me join your group.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 1999 Report Share Posted May 24, 1999 Hello to everyone on the " Atkin's-A-WayOfLife " One-List!! I am just new to this list although I am not new to the One-List program. I am just beginning to start the Atkin's Diet and I am looking for others who can share tips, techniques, and recipes. My name is Bill Elias. I live in Des Moines, Iowa. I have been married for 12 years and I have 2 kids. My daughter is 7(soon to be 8) and my son is 5. I have been overweight since a child and I am looking for some type of a plan that can help me loose this weight once and for all and do so by understanding the systems of the body and how it can help itself scientifically to lose weight. I am 35 years old. I have high blood pressure, inflammatory arthritis, and severe vascular disease of the legs. Anything that can potentially help me with these problems is worth my time and effort. I currently weigh 290 lbs. and am aiming for somewhere around 225. I've not been there in many, many years so I may have to adjust that number when I get to that point. I have however lost 25lbs. in the last 2 1/2 years by following the lo-fat, high carb program. I have been on a plateau for the last year and 1/2. I am looking forward to being a part of this list and will look forward to hearing from all of you. I am also working on becoming a certified personal trainer so I have lots of motivation to help me get where I need to be. Thanks for your time everyone.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 1999 Report Share Posted May 25, 1999 Hi, I am a complete beginner on the Atkins' Diet. I just bought the book and read it yesterday. Today was my full day following the induction diet. Not too bad, but very different from anything I've ever done before. I have to admit, I'm skeptical but my parents used the diet and lost over 40 pounds each in 2 months. They said it is easy to follow, but can get boring. I am married, with 2 kids and trying to lose 25 pounds. I promised myself I'd lose 10 pounds before the wedding, and then I gained another 10! I was just accepted a severance package at work and felt this was an excellent time to give myself a morale boost...new hair color, hopefully new body. I'm looking foward to joining a supportive group who can give me some tips, support and success stories. Talk to you soon, Deb Atkins-A-WayOfLife-owneronelist wrote: > Hello, > > Welcome to the list.
