hi everyone i hope everyones doing well.
Its strange after getting of induction from being so sick i lost 2lbs! i think its because my medicines cause me to have no appetite.
I will be starting South Beach as soon as i get the book.

KISS = Keep It Simple, Sweety

Did you start South Beach? How's it going?

How did everyone else do? How much did you lose? Did you determine your degree of metabolic resistance? And what are you doing next---continuing Induction, moving to OWL?

I bought the good carbs good fats book guide and the regular first South Beach diet book.How much weight did you lose johnny21.Keep is simple sweetie thats cute

I don't know my exact starting weight as I didn't have a scale when I started Atkins, but I went from a size 12-14 US to a size 8-10. I have size 6 as a goal.

A few months ago I stalled and when I checked for Candida, there it was.

So I followed KISS and my weight loss restarted soon after.

Armystolehim04 · 06-18-2009, 02:39 PM

You were right where i was i started at a size 14(193lbs) and i am at 7 (155lbs)
I just relized im half the size i used to be!You will get there i am still going along i want my BMI to be healthy for my weight atleast i am not in the obese section anymore just overweight

I still haven't gotten my south beach book but i am trying to keep it pretty healthy.I've been eating low carb fruit a lot.If i eat any grains its got to be whole grain!I've really lost my taste for rice/bread etc just doesn't sound good anymore.I hope your doing well!

Hey everyone!
Haven't posted in awhile. Again. Sorry. End of school craziness; however, I have kept up on the Atkins and have lost 9 lbs. Yeah!

I would like to lose 7 more in the next two weeks and stay on induction. Katkins - glad you're still doing it! I would love the support. Let's keep on keepin' on! 2 lbs. a week is a great goal! I am sure you'll make your goal by your birthday!

So, strict Atkins and I'll post more often for the next two weeks. Have a good one!

How has everyone doing? I've lost 15 lbs and feel Great! I'm really not craving sweets but sure would love to be able to eat some fresh bread. lol

Happy 4th of July!

What are the allowed foods on atkins induction? were moving in 1 week and I don't have my book- it's already packed

ashley123 · 07-16-2009, 10:30 AM

I actually started 3 days ago. Also what do you guys do about constipation? I had it twice already since I started this diet. tried phillips stool softner and it didn't work and took max dose. I ate a metamucil fiber apple cracker thing this morning. with water. I had to fdo an enema this morning fleet enama- I know it's not a favored topic but it's part of life

Depends what Atkins plan you are following. Do you go by DANDR 2002?

What Dr. Atkins recommended in DANDR 2002 is flax meal, wheat bran or psyllium husks (the unsweetened kind). You'll have to drink these with a lot of water or else they'll just stuck the pipes more. Also take a look at your menu and see if you can increase your dietary fiber (from veggies). Overeating cheese can also cause constipation or make it worse.

Well I'm not sure if anyone from this thread stuck it out or not but I did and managed to lose 27 lbs and am right where I want to be but Unfortunately was in the ER yesterday with pain and found out that I have multiple gallstones and have to have surgery Friday Morning to remove my gallbladder. so now what? I'm scrambling around googling like a mad woman and finding that people tend to gain weight after gallbladder removal. I worked too hard for this. Also I'm reading that I can't eat the things I've been eating for the past three months. Ugh! Anyone have any suggestions or similar situations?

BrandNewMe2004 · 09-10-2009, 04:53 AM

I've had my gallbladder out and yes, it did end up with me gaining weight and I had to watch high-fat amounts for a while, but I'm back to normal now and losing again. Don't take my experience as typical, though, I have heard from many people that lost weight during the process. Just take it slow and watch portion sizes of fats until you know how they will effect you. No reason not to continue low-carb.

Kristee · 09-10-2009, 04:10 PM

Thank You! I've been doing a lot of reading. I'm so nervous about the whole thing.
