ShyGuy's Journal, 02 November 2011

I may have influenced two new converts. I got a call from my sister-in-law, last night, and she informed me that, along with my brother, she was going to be starting the Atkins Diet soon; like today. I told her the first thing she needs to do is go to the Atkins website, begin taking the lessons, and get educated about it. However, she's excited about getting started, and wants to lose twenty pounds between now and Thanksgiving, and another ten by Christmas. I told her it's possible, but she needs to, once again, get educated about it so she knows what she's doing. She knows that I've lost more than 30 pounds, so far, and wants to do the same, but then go back to eating the way she's been eating before Atkins. I tried to let her know, that it's a lifestyle, not a quick fix, but everyone has to learn for themselves, what happens when you approach it in that fashion. I guess, if nothing else, she'll gain a better understanding of why I'm eating the way I am, and there is sure to be more Atkins friendly food, at their house, when I go over there for Thanksgiving. :-)

Congrats to you for influencing Bro and Sis in Law to eat more healthy. As you say sis is going to find out she can't just go back as before she will gain very quickly. She wants to lose a lot 20 before Thanksgiving wow don't forget let her know that women don't lose as fast as men do......have you let them know about FS or is that your secret. I hope she reads as much as she can, she will probably be picking your brains........as you say the nice thing her home will be Atkins friendly :)

Maybe they will love this lifestyle once they start and feel healthy, lighter and good. You are a good influence. :)

I haven't told her that men lose faster than women, but I told my brother, and he just laughed. You are right about them picking my brain about it; I talked to her for a while, last night, and my brother called me from the grocery store today. My SIL already knows about fatsecret; her sister told her about it, but I'll be seeing them tomorrow to school them on how to take full advantage of all the features, as well as those on the Atkins website too. :-)

I think they will like both Websites and all the great support. Have a great day!

Thats great for both of you - it is good to have others in the family walking the same path! Let her know that women, especially, have to be careful or they will gain and not lose (if they don't understand the science and try to make their own rules). Most women have to keep their calorie count in check too (age seems to affect this too).
