Hi Scby99. I've been doing Atkins off and on for about 35 years when it first came out. It's the only diet that has ever worked for me. Unfortunately when I lost the weight I went back to my old eating pattern and gained it right back on. Everyone says that's what happens on Atkins but I've also done WW and many others and the weight I lost came right back on also. If you need any support or help I'm here for you.

You will do it! I truly believe that each person has their own way of dieting. You have to do what works for you. Just keep your positive attitude and know that you have a lot of people on here supporting you and ding this right along with you!

Akins is also the only program that works for me. It is a way of life not a diet and ideally we should do it permanently. It is hard too renounced to certain food or drink for ever but I think we can have them once in a while (very sporadic) as long as we keep the low carb most of the time. The trick with Atkins is, after loosing the weight not too go back to the old eating habits.

Atkins will give you the basic guidelines to a healthier 'way of eating'. (WOE) What I found to be the very first step ... and a hard step ... is giving up all grains. That is number one. Once you get this down, the rest is easy. We are all here to support you. :)

It's difficult at first, but once you get rid of all the sugar and not so good foods in your body, it becomes much easier. I lost 90 pounds on Atkins about 12 years ago, and it was the best and easiest decision I made to take the weight off. If I can do it, YOU CAN DO IT! :)

LOL... love your name parrothead! Giving up juice messed with my head. Now I don't miss that at all either.

Good to know I'm not alone b/c I tell ya, there are times where I feel like I am having mirages of those red, Swedish fish swimming in front of me begging to be eaten! ;)
