Howdee! I just had to stop by your diet after "meeting you" on the pictures thread. I wanted to try to give ya some encouragement. Weightloss is not just about eating and exercise, but about having the right mindset. You have to think positive, but realistic too. And most of all, never give up- even if you have a bad day. Don't let one "mistake" sabotage any progress made, or worse, reverse it!

I did Atkins a few years ago and lost about 15lbs. The first 2 days I literally felt sick with a headache. Once I got thru the first week, it was much easier. I ended up quitting the program as my body just felt like it was craving some of the foods that were restricted, like fruits, and diary.
Needless to say, I gained all the weight back and have been yo-yoing the past 5 years, till I found my own inner strength, commitment, and this site. The weight is coming off slow, but it doesnt feel like a diet and I KNOW it will be permanent. There have been weeks where the scale went up a little or stayed the same- but I did not give up.

DO NOT GIVE UP! Keep going girl! Success will be yours!

Im at work and i just see all these people larger then me.. like huge and I just sit there and think "I dont want to end up like that" because I've been big my whole life.. and I want to know what it feels like to be thin. I want to be thin. I will be thin! =D lol

Hey, I dont want to be nosy, but you really should be getting those 12-15 net carbs a day of veggies.

If you posted your diet on the Atkins board they would flame you so bad for not getting your vegetables, and things like bread and the bars are not allowed on induction.

Thats great about the exercise though! I love it when I get addicted, my motivation is a little too low at the moment lol.

They actually are =)

If you look on the back of the bar is clearly states the inductions that are allowed to eat the bars, and induction 1 is allowed =)

And it's working for me, so I don't see the problem lol

Oh ok. I just remember when I was on induction the you weren't allowed the bars, maybe they've made new ones since then, there wasnt much variety back then!

And there is no need to make me look stupid, on Atkins you are supposed at have 12-15 net carbs of vegetables a day, and your not getting that - so its more a very low carb diet than atkins.
