Hello everyone.

[Brenda43]

Hello everyone,
In 2004 I tried the Atkins WOL and lost over 50lbs. I was in the 240's when I started at that time and got down to 191. I did it faithfully for 4 months when I started it. Since then I have been on and off the Atkins plan, and my weight has been back and forth from 226 to 205.
I am starting it this time and I don't want to stop until I reach my goal.
A little about me, I am 43 and work as a nurse. I have one son that is 20yrs old.
Hope everyone is having a great day.
Brenda

You might need to wrap your mind around this being a way of life for eating, with the exception of course of a once in awhile stray that doesn't do a lot of damage.
It's just not a quick fix. Welcome to a healthy plan that will getcha where you wanna go:)

Thanks everybody. I am going to stick with low carb until I reach 140.
I work 16 hour shifts. The hardest thing for me to overcome is not getting a candy bar from the snack machine for a pick me up. That habit has to go out the window today!
Take care
Brenda

Brenda you might want to rethink this "I am going to stick with low carb until I reach 140. " If you go back to eating carbs like you used to you will more than likely gain the weight right back plus. Thats why they call this a way of life. Of course if you stay LC you will probably be able to add a lot more carbs back in to maintain. Best of luck...Bru :wave:
