Hello everyone, I started on Atkins March, 2011. At that time I weighed 240 pounds. I have lost 41 pounds since starting Atkins. I am 60 years old.
I am a yo-yo dieter. I have never tried diet gimmicks. Whenever I make up my mind that it's time to lose some of myself I always use Atkins way of eating.
In 1973 I did go to Weight Watchers when I found out I was expecting my second son. I weighed less the day he was born that I did when I found out I was pg. My doctor told me I was pre-diabetic and that if I didn't get on a healthy diet I would need insulin before the baby was born.
My second son was born perfect. I ate so much better for him than I did for my first one. When one is young one is dumb.
In 2002 I got up to my highest weight. At 260, and having to pull myself up the stairs to my bedroom, I knew if I wanted to live I had to lose, so lose I did. I lost down to 148. I think I weighed 148 for about 2 days!
Fast-forward to March 2011 and I was up to at least 240. I could hardly walk a few steps without my heart burning. My blood sugar was totally out of control. I had turned into a recluse.
Today at 198 I feel there is still hope for me.
And I know Atkin's is my way to lose again.
In 2002 I did not know Atkins had a web site for support from folks in my shoes. I don't feel alone today in my journey to a healthy me!!!
Today I am not using insulin and I feel better than I have since 2008. Maybe, just maybe, I have one more chance to lose and live.
I have tried to correct my starting weight and my lost weight to date. So far I can't figure out how to change it.
In March,2011 I weighed 240. I have lost to 198.

sexynonna, Thank you. I am starting to feel better. I used fatsecrets for the first time today. I have been on the Atkins web site for about 2 weeks now. Do you use the site. It is so way coolllll.
It took some doing and some help from a way cool friend I met in there. She is my inspiration!!
I had not a clue as to how easy it is to record everything I put in my mouth. I was using paper and pen. Gosh the way it finds the food and then tells you what percent is this and that!! I got three great helps now. Atkins,Fatsecret and all the wonderful fun people I have met since I began my journey again to not die fat.
I am so glad I found your post. Did you read my bio? I am such a newbie in here. Lets stay in touch. :-)

Did you see that Georgie has lost 14 pounds in 15 days??? Doing the Low Protein and High Fats.
Today when I weighed I have gained the two last pounds back I had lost, doing the Low Protein High Fat!
Last night when I saw I was low on Protein I over ate it. The most horrible part is I was so full I thought I was going to get sick.
Which Thread are you on?
I am on the Stalled Thread shellbaby started and the new one June_Bug started a few days ago.
