New to The Beach!

Just wanted to say hi, I have been lurking this past week. I did atkins and did lose all my weight but guess what... ITS BACK.

I am over being mad at myself and on to doing something about it. I think SB will work alot better for me for the long haul. I am going to buy the book this week but have really learned alot from all the posts and stickies. So thank you! I am on day 5 and have lost 2 pounds but they came back yesterday along with TOM, but no gain so hoping for a woosh!
I am also doing Phase2 since I had no cravings as I had already lowered carbs and got rid of the whites in my diet the 2 weeks before actually DOING IT all the way.

Thanks to all that post in this forum it has given me hope that these 30 pounds will come off yet once again, but for good this time!

Glad you're joining us! I am also a former Atkid, but just couldn't stick with it, I guess...

I am on day 2 of Phase 2, so I'm new myself! I am enjoying the food, had my first half apple today. I think it is the first one in a couple of years, and it tasted so good!

You'll get lots of good stuff here! We practice "care & share", so come back often!

, I know, but don't beat yourself up, way to go on program and losing 2 lbs already. This is a great forum, join right in!

Thank you so much! Tomorrow is day 7 and weigh in day for me, if TOM doesn't leave by then maybe I shouldn't get on the scale!

I haven't done the apple yet, it is really hard for me not to think of carbs, I really am working on that. I have a slice of WW bread in the morning but its the low carb version....5 carbs a slice, I really need to find the book! I looked all over yesterday but Walmart and my drug store and the grocery store didn't have it. Last year when I was on Atkins seems I saw those books everywhere, now I guess I will have to order it online.

Thanks again for your support!

Glad you could join us. I too am an ex-Atkins-er.

I think I "had enough" of Atkins and started to cheat. I didnt go back to my old ways of eating, but I would have 1 bad thing a day.......20lbs slowly returned after a year of doing that.

I'm so glad that I tried SBD.....MIL is a big fan of the program and told me everything I needed to know over the phone. I got the book, along with Good Carbs Good Fats Guide.

Looking forward to getting to know you !! Join us over on the Check In thread !! *♥*Tuesday Check In*♥* 9/20

Welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you!

MotherNaturals · 09-20-2005, 12:15 PM

Welcome. I was also someone who lost weight on Atkins and then it slowly came back...due to eating, my meds and a pregnancy, I was right back where I started in 12/00! But, I think this is a more reasonable plan and a more long termable one...I just made that up I think!

I started on Saturday and have lost 1.5 so far. I feel great, in control, you know...but still fat... Good luck to you, I am sure we will run into each other on this board!

Make a ticker at tickerfactory, it is just another way to keep motivated...you see that sucker moving and it's really cool! :-)

I am in the process of also getting the book and can't wait! I ordered it so I have to just sit and wait wait wait! I hope you find one, if not, check ebay like I did. I got mine for only a few dollars, $7.00 including shipping. Why not recycle too!

Peace~Vanessa
