Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 Iris, I hope I am at last going to feel better. I have shown no pound loss but when I put my bra on this morning it seems I may be about an inch smaller. I still have this terrible headache which is probably just withdrawal from the carbs. I do feel better thru my mid-section. Have lost the bloat. Will be glad when it shows up on the scales. Excuse the bold print but I don't see real well when it comes to email. Will be watching for your results.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 1999 Report Share Posted October 13, 1999 hello there! This is a great diet, but more important than the actual diet, i think, is the support that you'll get from the website.

I've tried all sorts of diets and right now am trying to stick to Weight Watchers. I've seen a lot about the Atkins diet recently and want to find out what it's about. I know it's a low carb, high protein diet. I want to see if it's something I can live with. By joining this list I'm hoping to see other peoples' successes and experiences with this diet.

It is much easier than WW; all you have to count is your carb grams, as long as you're eating enough. It is easy to stay on because there is no hunger and minimal cravings. I feel better than I have in a long time, as far as energy goes. Sometimes I even want to break into a run while I'm walking. I recommend it!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 1999 Report Share Posted October 14, 1999 Hi Everyone, I just ordered the book that everyone's talking about, The New Revolution. I was just wondering what the difference was between this program and Protein Power. I'm anxious to know. A few years ago I did Blanchard's and we checked Ketosis sticks. Protein Power does not go into this. My thinking before anyone answers is that I will like The Atkins program much better. On Protein power hubby lost 50 pounds and I had lost 40 pounds 2 years ago. He only gained 20 pounds back and I gained mine all back. 1 week ago we started back!! I have lost 2 pounds so far. Don't know what hubby has done yet.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 1999 Report Share Posted October 15, 1999 Deanna, Protein Power subtracts fiber from the carbs, Atkins doesn't I think that is the only major difference. But I am not sure, there are a few people on PP on the list, maybe they can help answer this Hugs Penny---Ohio 173/157/130 Goal for Oct 31st-----155 List Moderator http://members.xoom.com/Shadcat708/LC.html http://www.geocities.com/shadcat708/The__Home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 1999 Report Share Posted October 15, 1999 Hi, I've been on Atkins for about 9 weeks. Started at 157 pounds, weight is now 145. Goal weight is 130. One thing that helps me to stick to this way of life is support/message boards. I've learned that there are alot of wonderful people out there helping and encouraging each other, so I like to check out the boards when I hear about them. From what I read, there are great people on your list. Even tho I only have 15 lbs left to lose, it's very difficult at this point, and after all, it is a way of life. Thank you for your welcome.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 1999 Report Share Posted October 19, 1999 Hello all! I am new to the list, bet you see that a lot! I am pretty much the dorkiest, friendliest, person that will probably ask you the most questions of anyone around. Actually I am not that bad, just wanted to say something different than the normal blah blah blah. I have been on Atkins for a month now. I have come to the conclusion that I am have high insulin resistance. I am committed to this wol. Here are my goals: Everytime I eat cottage cheese, I do not want to be reminded of my thighs, butt and arms. -To post a 90 lbs success story to the list. - To change my thoughts into long term thinking so I realize and accept this woe for the rest of my life -To not binge -To stop a binge if I start one and to stop myself when I know I am wrong, even if it isn't a binge. -To say and make a big deal over losing weight and pray my dh doesn't bring it up again 2 days later because I have gained it back. -To feel like I am in control -To get my pride, independace and spritual self back -To FEEL like exercising -To feel like I am healthy -To look like I feel -To stop brushing up against people and feel shocked that it was me -To encourage my family to get healthier -Get into clothes from a year ago -Get out of a car gracefully -To not see my wobble (my double chin) in pictures -To lose so much that my dh won't have a belly to shake -To not be too forgivcing if I screw up because it gives me licese to do it again. Issues I need to deal with -I feel like I need to draw attention away from me while I am on a diet because I only want the attention after I see results. -To learn why exactly I binge when my dh works at night. -To get rid of this " I'll show you " attitude -Learn how to deal with my constant cravings for sweets and chocolate -To learn why I have a fear of being thin. -To deal with my thoughts that someone should love me like I am, no matter what because I turn everything into this argument. -To overcome my boredom with diets (even this one) -To be able to see other people around me eating something and not want it. SO that is me in so many words. Glad to be aboard and will be talking with you soon! ===== You've got to dance like nobody's watching, work like you don't need the money and love like it's never going to hurt.
