Hi all! I've been reading all your posts and I must say you guys are very inspiring.
I started Atkins back in May and lost 25 pounds by staying on induction for 5 weeks. The fat just flew off. But...I think I stayed in induction too long and so at one point I cracked (I'm pretty sure it was at a tapas buffet) and haven't been able to get back on since. Diet Dr. Pepper is like crack to me and I've realized I need to give that up too. (so hard!) I started out this new Atkins resolve sloooooowly. I bought a 12 pack of diet rite and weaned myself off of the dreaded Diet Dr. P. and cut my caffiene intake dramatically.
I debated starting Atkins tommorow since we are going on a holiday weekend soon. But frankly - every freaking time I've vowed to start there has been an occasion to keep me from doing it. So to heck with it I'm starting as of N.O.W.
I felt like I need to fire a starting gun or something so I'm putting this post out there. I hope to chat with you all again soon!
