It was a totally different eating plan that included lots of fruits, whole grains, etc and not a lot of protein. So it wasn't that I was just climbing the ladder. I wanted a different eating plan for the summer to see if I liked it better. It sure didn't work for me so I went right back to Atkins and climbing the ladder the right way. Don't be afraid of climbing the ladder. I waited way too long before I started climbing and boy was I missing out.

Yes, it does take work, and you are a good example of what needs to be done!!

Congrats!! I wish I could have made your post. I started Atkins November 19th, 2002 and lost 120 pounds. I got lazy and also become hypothroid and gained 50 of those back.

I signed up today under a new user name because I want a fresh start, sadly I was not a complete success the first time so I plan to be this time!!

Congrats!! You are a success!
