Trying to reach my goal
Hi! my name is marita and I start the Atkins diet last week, and I signed up for the gym too. I can't wait to see if this is working. I weigh 216 pounds and my goal is 70 pounds. I really want to weigh atlease 145 pounds. Now I don't have any support and that is really hard for me. How you loose 100 pounds so fast http://www.3fatchicks.net/img/heartb...6/145/211/.png :carrot:

You've got heaps of support here Marita!! We lean on each other and gain support and motivation from each other. You've found a great spot here. :hug:

You can loose steadily and in a way that's healthy by following Atkins. There are a lot of fancy tricks and variations, but really, just do what the book says do and you'll feel better and loose faster than you can imagine.

Hi Marita. Congratulation on starting the Atkins. You will find all the support you need here. The very first day that I joined I instantly fell in love with this web site. You'll see the results soon.
|
Thank's, I need alot support. The only thing is that I feel like is going to slow, I know that I have to be patient, but I need to see any change. I hope that went I weigh my self next Saturday, I better loose at lease 5 pound.

Marita, don't forget to take your measurements!! When/If the scale doesn't move as fast as you'd like, the measurements usually go down. As long as you are following the book and drinking your water, your weight should go down. Good luck and come join us on the weekly chat thread:)

This is actully my second day on Atkins so I feel your stress. It's going great though and I hope it's going good for you. From people I've talked to and from what I've heard, my people lose at least 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks. I'm like you...I'm looking to lose the rest of my weight at a quick steady, yet healthy pace. That's why I've decided to stay in induction until I'm down to my goal...then once I'm there, I'll slowly start to add my carbs back in like you do in the other phases. My best friend lost 60 pounds doing it that way and boy did it melf off. Good luck!

MArita welcome and slow down you did not gain it all in one week so do not expect to lose it all in one week either 70 lbs is going to take time so relax and take it easy.n enjoy your time here and learn to eat healthy, the first few weeks is usally a fast loss but it is hard work to keep the weight loss going as with any diet. this one works with so many as we are addicted to carbs and can not say no to many foods and do not know when to stop, so relax and enjoy it!1 get to know us and do not expect so much from yourself.

I have to agree with Sue just a bit. It will come off, but you have to be patient otherwise you are going to get really discouraged and set yourself up for failure. That is awesome that you are going to go to the gym. Sweat the pounds away. If you arent sweating, then you arent working hard enough. Good luck to you and yes you have found the support you are going to need here. Welcome to the group.

:goodluck: You'll do great, just be patient. It will come off.

Sometimes, I felt like I'm not eating the rigth food, that's why I don't lose weight. I think I need like a diet list or some paper or some one to tell me what to eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner for atlease two weeks.
