Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Audrey, Speaking solely from personal experience, I have found that nothing worked for me until I decided what I wanted the most. When you do that, and the thing you actually want most (which means that it is the thing you are willing to give up everything else for, if necessary) is losing weight, then you'll be ready to do Atkins. And I think it's because it takes a permanent lifestyle change . . . not just a temporary change in eating habits in order to drop a few pounds, but a commitment to a change in eating forever so that you do not regain all the weight or even most of it ever again. It can be done, and we'll be glad to help you any way that we can. Just let us know how we can do that, ok?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Audrey, If you can afford it, go buy some special low carb things like candy bars and shakes. They help me. There are more and more new things out there now that weren't there when you were first doing this. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 >> I've spent the last 3 months trying to kick it back in and am having sooooo much trouble staying on the diet. I know it inside/out, but seem to fall off so easily. I NEED HELP!!! I'd like to get down to around 145-150 - I KNOW Atkins works - why can't I stay on track? I'd appreciate any and all ideas and suggestions! Thanks, >> Audrey J. Welcome to the list. I have been having the same problem. I can't seem to get my butt in gear. I have been doing great LC while I was pregnant. Then when I gave birth in March I haven't been able to get back on track. I have tried everything. I will be interested to hear what others have to say. Right now I think the biggest thing in my mind is that I have a mental block I have to get past. My husband doesn't agree with this WOL and is even going to try LF to lower his cholesterol (we are as stubborn as each other, I can't convince him-he can't convince me to try his ways LOL). He constantly tells me that I am trying to kill him, jokingly of course. He knows I love him. It's just that when I cook I make it the Atkins way. So anyway...just wanted to let you know you are not alone. Dawn in SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Here is are my symptoms... I have very abnormal bleeding, pretty much I have two separate periods each month, one relatively light and one a medium-heavy (fairly normal)one. The first one (the lighter one) lasts for 7-13 days approx and is light enough to wear a liner or a thin pad. Then my regular on schedule period will last for maybe 2-1/2 days. I don't know what this could be..and neither do the stupid doctors around here! All pap tests have been normal, and I've had one ultrasound that was normal. This began approx. 3 years ago with a slight spotting in the middle of the month, next month increased to a little more, etc... Until it ended up becoming two separate periods. I was taking the pill for about 6-1/2 years when this began. (Marvelon is the bcp brand). I went off the pill by the suggestion of a gynecologist who says the pill may be may make my uterine lining too thin and it sheds more often?? I don't experience any pain, this is just an annoyance more than anything but I'm worried if it's left alone for too long, this will cause problems later in life or possibly anemia?? Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks so much for any feedback e (age 24) Happy Holidays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 Yep, that is what I had and I was told that everything appeared normal but there is definately something wrong with me. > Did you have a pelvic ultrasound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 Yes, but I had to insist that I get one. My ex-gyno wanted me to wait and get a hysto later. I went to the dept head, who approved the ultrasound. That clarified the size & location of the fibroid, which then defined the possible treatments. Mine was within the walls of my uterous, leading me to UAE instead of Myo. If you are getting resistance, push it, and they will give way.
