    Hey yall I'm new here..started Atkins a week and a half ago and the first week I lost 5 pounds I don't know how much I have lost this week but I will weigh again on monday so we will see God has givin me the strength and courage to do this weigh loss journey and I feel very blessed..my highest weight is 325, current 314, lowest ever 170 when I was 17 I lost 50 pounds on slim fast, long term goal 140, first short term goal 300..my weight has gotten out of control and I love this diet (i call it a lifestyle change) because I will be doing this the rest of my life. Atkins keeps me full..I'm not counting calories but I don't think I eat over 1200 a day anyway. I do drink diet drinks (pepsi max and coke zero) just to treat myself which I see that you can have those on it. I have a youtube channel..my name is thehollyrenae and I post a video every monday and weigh in. Well I guess that's all for now..I hope to make some good diet buddies on here

    Welcome Holly:
    For me atkins is permanent too, as it controls my blood sugars and gives me lots of freedom to eat very healthy too. Even tho I love them, grains are not very good for me. Don't stint yourself on calories over all, let the fats into the diet to keep the munchies away. When I find myself craving too much, its usually because I haven't been getting enough fat in my diet.
    Enjoy the journey!

    Holly!

    Welcome!

    I tried to check out your youtube channel, and it says it doesn't exist any more. Did you stop posting vidoes?

    Good luck on your weightloss!!
