I finally got back on Atkins after stopping around the holidays last year. I tried Weight Watchers for awhile and it worked at first until all those carb cravings came back and I just have no willpower. The only diet I can seem to stick to is Atkins because I lose all the cravings. I had forgotten just how satisfying eating low carb is. I kept putting off my start date and I was truly dreading it and then once I started it was so easy to get back into it. I found it easier this time than the first time around. I guess because I did it for so long before that I knew what to stock up on and I know to make sure I have plenty of low carb things on hand such as boiled eggs to grab in a pinch. I haven't bought any low carb sweets because I'm still on induction. The first time I did Atkins I bought the Atkins bars and they taste great, but I do think they may have caused me to stall. Anyway, I am so glad I'm back to this way of eating. I've lost at least 11 pounds since starting 11 days ago! I started zumba at the end of January and do one-hour classes four days a week. I didn't do any exercise at all when I was on Atkins the first time, so it will be interesting to see the difference. I really love zumba and, although I did not lose weight doing zumba alone, I really have toned up and I can tell in my legs and arms.
I had forgotten all about Jimmy Johns until I read this thread. I've been bringing my breakfast and lunch to work every day, but if I ever forget that's definitely something to keep in mind because there's one about a mile from my work. I had the unwich a couple of times in the past when I was on Atkins. I also love the guacamole bacon burger at carl's jr. You can get their burgers wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun. I have to take off a lot of the lettuce though because they put like a whole head of iceburg on there
Sorry to be so long winded.
I'm back :-(
