Hi Sue!

That is so funny, cuz my twins are so different, both in looks and

personality, that you would

never know they were twins! Let alone sisters! BTW, they love eating the

Atkins way, especially when they are involved with sports. Did alot of

research about teenagers doing Atkins and they have

truly benefited from it!

Take care!

Hi Trinks...Welcome, this is a great place to be and we all will help you

reach your goal!.....judi

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm Trinks. Thanks very much for the welcome, Sue.

I'm in the planning stages of low carb. I'm a 51 year old woman who has

been overweight since adolescence. I went on Atkins when it first came out!

but never stuck with it. Twice I've lost 30-35 pounds and kept it off for

five or six years, but then something happens to upset my schedule (I'm one

of those who needs to live a regulated life to keep " on program " ) and I'm

lost. The past three years have been very difficult -- very stressed, very

out of control for a variety of personal crises. Now I need to lose 100

pounds to look something like a normal person, and about another 30 to be

" thin. "

I'm going to start a combination of Protein Power and Atkins tomorrow. (My

combination is Atkins induction with the addition of 2 fruits and 4 cups of

vegetables.)

I've been lurking and reading the public lists on and off for a year, made

two half-hearted starts on it a year ago and then for New Years (haha). Now

I'm working at home and there's no excuse for not sticking with it. I think

the lists are very helpful; you can see your own mistakes made by others!

And maybe that's away to avoid making them again. I also like the idea of

having to be accountable to people, having to post weights and losses.

One question. I don't understand how to get to the recipe archive. Any

tips?

Thank you.

Trinks (numbers next Friday)

Hi Sue,

Been Dr. Atkins for 6 days now. Just found Onelist. I have found other

lo-carb sites that have been encouraging to me. I have 150 pds. to lose. I

have dieted all of my life. I am 54 yrs old and now have developed diabetes

II and my legs ache so bad I walk like a much older woman.

I truly want to make this a wol not a diet. The boards and chats I have

found have been inspiring as well as encouraging. Not a lot of support out

there for lo-carbers.

My latest attempt was on Sugarbusters (since I'm a New Orleanian). Lost a few

pds, but was a struggle. I cannot eat rice, pasta, bread and eat a small

amount.

Hope this isn't too long. Looking forward to your posts.

Hate to sound ignorant. How do I get to the Shared file for the recipes.

Thanks,

Shirley

[Guest guest]

Hi! I am new to the list also. I have been looking into different diets and

know that I need to cut back on carbohydrates. I have not been able to

loose weight, infact when I have tried I have only gained. The last 4 years

I have gained over 60 pounds. college, marriage, baby etc. were factors

there. Anyway, I am looking forward to hearing others suggestions and maybe

some recipes. Does the Atkins diet say anything about juicing? And does

anyone know of a carbo chart on the web that I could look at? I am trying to

figure out now what vegetables and fruits are the highest.

Thanks!

[Guest guest]

Sue,

I went there and tried to download, but my computer just sat there for

several minutes...didn't even start downloading. Does it take a while

before it starts downloading. Just wondering if anyone else experienced

this?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I have been on the diet for about 16 months and love it. I have primarly

started the diet to lower my cholesterol, and after 6 months, it was under

200 for the first time ever. Unfortunately, at about 14 months I had another

test and it was up to 237. I had stopped taking a chromium supplement, and

had switched from metamucil to a tablet form of fiber supplement. So, I have

changed back to metamucil and restsrted taking the chromium. I will take

another blood test in about a month. I do not fastidiously measure my carbs,

but believe I am at about 40 gms/day. I don't eat any sugar, and thought

that was the thing that was working. I wonder what forms of carbs you find

the least harmful to consume? I take a bite or 2 of strawberries and melon

every now and then, and mashed potatoes when I am in a restaurant that serves

them. I do miss pizza!

Thanks.

I think that is why this is easier in some ways because you can't have any

of that stuff so there isn't the problem of eating too much of it. I am more

of an all or nothing type of person and this helps because I pretty much eat

as much meat as I want and no starches or sugars.

Theresa

[Guest guest]

I agree with Theresa. It is a lot easier for me just to not eat any of the

starches and sugars than trying to limit the amount. I also find that I

don't hardly ever get that starvin' feeling either. I sure hope things keep

on this way!

Congratulations on getting your blood pressure under control. I used to take

beta blockers for blood pressure and I felt awfull all the time. Glad you

are doing so well.

God bless, Lee

[Guest guest]

Hello, I am new to this list. I started Atkins 6 weeks ago when my

sister encouraged me to try it for the health benefits. I am not

overweight (would like to lose 10 pounds only) but was suffering from

very high blood pressure. I was taking Dyazide and Atenolol daily to

keep it under control. Within 3 days on Atkins Induction, I dropped the

Dyazide and 3 weeks later weaned myself off Atenolol. My blood pressure

is now normal without drugs! I check it everyday! Now I know why I had

high blood pressure. I was consuming tons of sugar daily and craving

more and more. I am now able to satisfy my sweet tooth with a small

dose of diet Jell-O topped with a couple of tablespoons of legal

cheesecake, as a nightly ritual. Otherwise, I religiously followed

Induction. I have lost about 8 pounds and realize that the additional

10 will take some time. I feel fabulous (sleeping now that I am not

taking the beta blockers) and no longer feeling stressed. I am concerned

about getting enough fiber and nutrients. (Am taking lots of vitamins as

recommended by Dr. A). Years ago I followed Atkins diet as a means of

staying slim but stopped when I heard all the bad press. I went to low

fat but struggled with constant hunger, never feeling full. Not now!

Sometimes I have to remind myself that I should eat something.

Enough about me! I am anxious to read other's input on this list!

Thanks for asking.
