Hello! I was hoping to find a fellow Okie! Someone I could chat with. I just started the Atkins plan today, and it would be great to find some in the same boat as me!!! Hope to hear from someone soon!

I'm an Okie, which part of Oklahoma? I live in Tulsa.

Sunshine 2,

I saw your post about living in Tulsa. I also reside in T town. Hope all is going well on your low carbing. I've been doing it for two weeks now and all seems to be going well. I also did Atkins about 5 years ago and lost 50 pounds or so, of course I've gained it all back and then some after the birth of my sweet son. Hope to hear from you

Hey Julie, just read your post. I was on a low carb diet about 4 years ago, not Atkins and lost 50 lbs too, but here I am again, with most of it gained back. But this time I found a better WOE and I'm looking at this as a WOL not just a diet.

Glad to meet you. Have you started your own journal yet? Under My Journal/Bootcamp?

I'm in Oklahoma city. :-)

Hi Tisha,

I am in Durant! Welcome to lc!! I would like to chat with you sometime!

Hi you guys! I'm in Miami OK, in the NE corner. Cool to see other Okies here too!

PJ

Yep, I am from the Tulsa area. I would be interested in hearing how it is going for ya'll.

Best wishes!

Hello my fellow "okies", welcome to the forum. I've been a member since July and I tell you, this forum is truly wonderful. If you guys haven't done so, I recommend starting your own journal under My Journal/Bootcamp, you will get lots of help and lots of encouragement from the "pros".

Welcome.

I tell you, I have been recommending the ALCF to everyone that I talk to. The support is unbelievable. Thank You to everyone. You all make it possible for the rest of us.


OOOOOOOOklahoma - isn't it a great place!!!!

I just now signed up for this and you were the 1st one that popped up. What are of OK are you from?

I've been on the Atkins before and it does work, but the past year I've been sooo bad! Moved here, bought home, 9/11 happened and I just didn't care what I ate. Started again 1/02/02 and already lost 5 lbs. I love this way of eating and I DO feel better.

What's your story on the Atkins?

Nice meeting a fellow Okie!

Hello there, I "used" to live in Vegas, now I'm in Oklahoma, actually I moved to Las Vegas after I graduated from college Oklahoma State, but was horribly home sick, so I moved back to Oklahoma to be with my family. I lived in Vegas for about 10 months. Enjoyed it, but I love Oklahoma (Tulsa).

Welcome to the forum.

I've been on Atkins pretty faithfully since July, but have went off of it a few times with some carb binges, (went on a cruise for a week) had the holidays to deal with. But all in all, I've very happy with the Atkins Way of Eating (WOE). I look at this as a WOL (WAY OF LIFE) not just a diet. I know I will have to eat like this for the rest of my life, carbs make me fat, its a fact. There are tons of recipes to make and different way of cooking so I've adjusted to the low carb WOE and way of cooking.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I miss Oklahoma too! But my job transferred me here (from Hellston, TX--Houston) so I'd rather be in LV than Houston.

Thanks for the welcome too, I'm really glad to be here. Used to utilize one of these when I started the program years ago and it helps to have someone to talk to, see others' progress and seek encouragement, tips, etc. from.

I maintiained my weight for 3 years on this WOL and wish I'd never gotten off it! I've felt horrible for the past 6 months, and of course gained the weight back. I'm like you that too--I can NOT eat carbs.

Best of luck to you.
