Guest guest Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Hi, I've posted here a couple of times but haven't really introduced myself. I joined WW last Thursday after having given up the Atkins plan. After developing back problems a few yrs. back I went on Atkins at my doctors suggestion. I lost 100 pounds on it and was a size 11, but then started having problems sticking to it and gained back around 75 pounds. As a former vegetarian I found Atkins to be a struggle, although the weight came off really fast. Now I'm having back problems again and that is what motivated me to join WW. I have to admit I don't like the idea of only losing 1 to 2 pounds a week. Seems like it will take me forever, however I love the food choices I have. My husband needs to lose around 50 pounds so he has went on WW with me, he could never do Atkins at all. I haven't thought about rewards for losing weight. I guess my reward would be to fit into all my old clothes and hopefully getting my back better by shedding all this weight. We don't have any kids, just 10 cats, 4 dogs,1 iguana, and 9 birds, those are our kids. I work in an office managing around 300 rental properties. I think that is about it. I look forward to seeing if this eating program will work for my husband and myself. I sure hope it does, don't want to go back to Atkins. Is there anyone here besides me that used to do Atkins? If so how hard was it for you switching to WW? Going from a very low carb eting plan, to a much higher eating plan wihtout feeling guilty for eating catbs?
