Well - today is the big 5-0 and I'm down almost 2 lbs. from yesterday even with a few carb-free drinks last night. In total, I lost 8 lbs. in induction if I count today's weigh-in instead of yesterday's which was the true end of my 2 week period. Not great but this isn't my first rodeo. I read somewhere that you never get an induction as good as your first. I'm looking forward to begin this journey into my 50s as a much healthier person. I'm tired of having no energy and not fitting into my clothes. I refuse to buy any new ones. I was VERY good on induction and never once strayed. Even though my induction is officially over I never really go off of it and always try to stay under 20 carbs per day. I was very successful with this diet about 13 years ago and don't really understand why I let myself gain it all back and then some - even after LapBand surgery which was honestly very useless. I should have had it adjusted a few years ago but pretty much gave up. I was eating less as it was and had a hard time eating most foods, especially meat, so I didn't want to make that part worse. So - here I am back with Atkins and down 8 lbs. Still over 80 to go but a great start. I have so much more energy at work and was able to focus much better. I just started this job in November and actually moved 500 miles away from home so it is VERY important that I do well. At first I seemed to be struggling and having a hard time keeping up. In fairness to myself, I am doing the job of at least 2 people with very little relief in sight. My boss let me know how happy he is with me for staying on top of things and completely coordinating everything that was going on. Nice to have my energy back and, more importantly, my focus. I hate you carbs and I don't need you anymore. My life is so much better without you!

Sorry I missed your Birthday! I just turned 60 last Nov and I feel the same way about starting my 60's, this should be an amazing time in my life and if I can get my weight under control it certainly will be! Congrats on the weight loss, I also dropped about 10 in 3 weeks so that seemed like a pretty good start to me! Good luck girl, we can do this!

Thank you! We can do this! I am not going to spend the rest of my life trying to squeeze into uncomfortable clothes, my car, my kitchen LOL. I have a very small kitchen and my daugther, who is also overweight, and I can barely fit. She's also trying to lose weight and we are watching her carbs but not as strictly as mine. Good luck!

Same to you! Besides the weight loss, this is changing my life because of how much better I feel! I am a sugar addict and sugar causes inflammation in the body. I have very bad arthritis, need my right knee replaced (had the left done in 06) and have bad bone spurs in my left ankle so getting around was getting very difficult. But since I have started Atkins within 2 weeks I was moving around much better and my pain has all but disappeared, so this is a plan I must stay with for the rest of my life for me to have a pain free body! Hope you have a great weekend! Be strong we can can this! :)
