All about me: I had lost 91 pounds within a year doing Atkins. I loved it, felt more energetic and it was easy to maintain. However a very dear person to me died suddenly and i took it very hard. With the antidepressants, not wanting to get out of bed, and eating everything in sight I of course gained some weight back. So now i'm here starting over my original weight was 260 at 5,5" after the lowest I got before falling off track was 161. I managed to gain all the way up to 213, and I am on my way to my goal of 130. Wish me luck!

SKIN SKIN AND MORE SKIN
Are you exercising, or toning to help with the skin. Losing too fast will sometimes make the skin loose. Usually with working out it isn't that bad. When i went from 260-to 169, I didn't have any loose saggy skin. I had lots of stretch marks on my arms and other places though though. I also have had kids.

So sad
K8yk the worst shows are the ones with show the teens where the parents are given them all this food. It is so sad, I've watched a few shows with bedridden teens waiting for insurance to pay for them to have g.b.s or where they try to loose the weight to be eligible for the surgery. But that is an amazing story of the 600 pound woman. Sparkpeople is a great site that I used back when I first started losing.

What do you love about Atkins?
K8yk I do like your distribution of protein, carbs, and fat. As a person moves along with Atkins and get closer to their goal. It does lean closer too that. Atkins is only restrictive in the beginning. For me I had to find a diet that was simple, and helped with my intense sugar cravings. But I agree somewhat of a balance is good. However a higher percentage of fats, then protein, then carbs works for me. However Aktins has helped me learn what works for my own body. I get my carbs in veggies, berries, whole grain bread(so yummy can't believe all i used to eat was white) and nuts is good for me. I had never ate some money veggies as I have on Atkins. I think different things work for different people. I never really felt like I was missing out on anything. Also any diet or lifestyle change can be abused. Someone on Atkins could defiantly say in Induction to long, or assume its all about beef and eggs. Just like with weight watchers I've had friends save mostly all their points on bags of chips, candy, and fast food.

What do you love about Atkins?
I am curious to see why people here are choosing to do Atkins. I previously lost 91 pounds with the help of Atkins. My craving for foods were nonexistent. I had more energy then I've ever had. I even was able to work out. That was after trying weight watchers, and numerous other low fat diets. I always would feel like I was starving and never really able to eat what I wanted. But with Atkins it was never like that. I did regain quite a lot of the weight that I lost. Even though it had nothing to do with Atkins. So now I am bad again going to loose weight the weight and keep it off.
