Hi all, I am new on here (but not new to the Adkins diet). Glad to have found this thread. I just started the 72 version of Adkins yesterday and today am down 1 pound. Water weight I know but still happy lol. I was on low cal eating 800 calories daily and was STARVING so I switched to the newer Adkins and went back and forth between low cal and newer Adkins for a few months and have managed to lose around 35 pounds but I used to do the 72 version of Adkins and went from 225 pounds to 125 pounds in a little over 6 months! So I am now going back to the "old" way of doing things!

Welcome!

Welcome to the board, Jim

Assuming it is "ATkins" you are following (not some other diet called "Adkins" ) we have some members who are "72-ers" and have a recent thread in the Buddies forum that you might find interesting.
