I'm a bit nervous about this as I posted on another forum awhile back and didn't have much luck after I asked a question that people didn't like about Atkins.

But, here goes...

I tried Atkins several years ago. Of course, I didn't read the book or even try to find out the right way to do it, so I failed. This year, after having my 2nd child (a girl...my name is supposed to be luvmy2girls, but wouldn't fit) I decided this weight had to come off. I tried Weight Watchers after the birth of my 3 year old and I didn't care for it that much. I was so hungry. My parents have had great success low carbing with South Beach, but I read the book and it just sounded like it wouldn't fit my lifestyle (no greasy meat would be hard for me as I work part time and 3 days a week I have to grab a burger or something to go in the car). So, I read Dr. Atkins book and thought it sounded wonderful. I didn't even realize you were able to eat vegetables and would have never dreamed you could eventually eat some fruit!

I've been on Atkins for a few weeks now and have lost 20 lbs. I am loving it. I cheated once...that's all it took not to do it again! I felt so sick!

Anyway, I hope I'm welcome here. Like I said, I'm a little nervous as I wasn't welcome on another forum awhile back.

Thanks for listening!

Don't be scared...:D some of us are kind of "eccentric", but we're harmless.

I'm glad to see you've read the book. It really helps to make your way through the whole thing, and then refer back as needed. I think I've worn mine to tatters. :lol:

one thing that i have noticed here that i have never noticed anywhere else, is that there are so many opinions out there and so many differences, but rarely will anyone here make you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. even if they disagree with you or think you are insane.
