Guest guest Posted May 25, 1999 Report Share Posted May 25, 1999 Deb, you can do it... I have been on Atkins for 1 month tomorrow, and I originally lost 20 lbs, I just gained 2, but I am not too upset about that (water fluctuation). Just try to enjoy yourself and know that the reason you are doing this is so that you can be a better person.... I have learned to like myself a whole lot more.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 1999 Report Share Posted May 25, 1999 Liz, also, keep in mind that anti-depressants can keep you from losing weight. You may want to talk to your physician and see if maybe some of the herbal remedies could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me how I would use the " Mayonnaise Sauce " ? Is it for meat? Shrimp? I have no idea. >> *************** Hi Kathy, As I noted, I use it for lots of things. I use it for a sauce for asparagus and other cooked veggies such as spinach; in salads, and for dips (with veggies, sort of like Uncle Dans dip which is what gave me the idea of making my own...much cheaper.) When I have tomatoes, I'll cut them up and add the mayo sauce. And I've used it as a base for coleslaw dressing (just added some Splenda) and added fresh dill for a tarter sauce for fish. HTH, in Seattle...an Atkid since 9/3/98 370/250/120 something.... I use a lot of this so I usually make up a double batch (2 cups mayo and 2 cups sour cream) so I don't have to make it up so often.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 1999 Report Share Posted June 1, 1999 Hi My name is Helen, I live in Ohio, 33 years old 3 children, started Atkins 2 weeks ago, I have lost 12 pounds and 18 inches and feeling really good.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 1999 Report Share Posted June 1, 1999 Dear Sue: I have been using Dr. A's diet since 1972 and it has always worked like a charm. For the last 5 years I have listened to the people around me, telling me that the only way to really lose weight in a healthy way is LOW FAT. I know better, but because I was isolated from other's who knew " the way " I just basically experienced 5 years of weight gain, self-anger and failure. And it was only today that I found all the Atkins support on the computer!! (I am new to computers). Now I am so motivated and ready to roll up my sleeves and take off this 62 pounds I put on. I am about 5'8 " and I tip the scales right now at 212. I want to get down to 150. I started today!!! I even went for an hour's walk, which I had given up (another thing I know better about) because I was so depressed. I am so glad to have found you all!!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 1999 Report Share Posted June 5, 1999 Hi, My name is Tammy. I will be restarting this program on Monday. I used it a year or two ago for a little while, but was unsuccessful. I need to loose 85 pounds and am hoping that with the support of a group, I will be able to do it. I will be nice to have people to talk to who understand my problems with weight. My husband is wonderful but has never been more than 5 lbs overweight in his life and he just does not understand how difficult it is. Be talking to you guys soon.
