Hi all,

This forum seems to be the nicest on the 'net, and just wanted to introduce myself.

Used the Atkins WOE back in '98, when it would (of course) kill you to eat this way. Lost weight instead. :)

Did a DUM thing, and stopped. Put it all back on, and another 50 to boot! Owee!

Decided it was time to come home, have been back since Jan of '04. Not stoppin' for another 50-55 lbs!

Hope I can help where I can, and learn where I can.

Hiya! The best way to think about Atkins is to consider it a way of life, because as with any weight loss plan as sure as you leave it, those pounds just come running back--and usually bring a few friends! :D

All the best to you!

Lila,

You betcha it's a way of life. I plan on moving over to SBD once I hit goal. I like the idea of fruit, whole wheat, etc. Just as long as Mr. Pound stays off MY body!

I think you'll find that the South Beach Diet is nearly the same as the maintenance phase of Atkins. :) If you haven't had a chance to read 'Atkins for Life' pick it up at your library and take a gander through it. I was really impressed when I read it. :)

Thanks for all the hellos and welcomes!

Gee, I thought Atkins Maintenance was a lot like SBD, but haven't picked up the book to make sure. I will, though. :read2:

I have been over on the OOO thread, and boy, do my eyes hurt! 87 pages and counting! :tears: What a nifty product. I'm heading out to pick some up and give it a try!

Gotta add a sig, too. Soon, soon!
