Hello, My name is Elizabeth and I've been on Atkins since Jan 2002. I'm kind of disappointed because when I first started Atkins the weight was flying off. I was 26O in January and by June I was 175. Sugar was definetly my problem. I drank lots of sweet soda and ate Junior mint candy and pop tarts for breakfast. My problem is, I can't stay on induction long enough to do what I need to do. I've been able to stay around 15 lbs of what I've lost, but its been hard for me. I actually think that all the low carb items are sabatoging me. When I first started Atkins all these low carb cookies, wraps, and things weren't available at the store you had to order them and they were expensive. Now I think I can get away with eating more of these than the actual suggested serving. I lost my father, I finished school, I'm unemployed and I've been gaining weight, I would love to join you guys.
