I'm an Atkins Chick!! But only on my way to being hott...

Cute idea Nikki. I used to make graphics for fun but I'm currently living w/my sis so all my pc "tools" are stored away.

My name is Lucy. I'm a stay at home mom. Am planning to move yet again in July. I just turned 28, have a 3 year old son named Angel, with a wonderful husband. I started "dabbling" in Atkins a bit over a year ago. Started at 233 (thanks to pregnancy) Came back on Atkins this past March at 224lbs. Am super happy to be where I'm at but need to tone up like crazy. Come next month I plan on becoming a work out freak.



I've also been craving cereal and pizza but am trying to hold on.

Hi. My name is Keturah and I am 24 yrs old. I tried Atkins when I was in college and it worked wonderfully. However, when I came back from StudyAbroad my senior year, everything went downhill. This time around, I have been in a stall for nearly a month now. Its proving more difficult this time because no matter what I do, it seems like I can loose this weight. I have about 25 more pounds to go, and I sincerely hope I wont get too discouraged that I quit. The scale wont budge and I am getting fustrated!!!

2cute3u 04, try the Viactin vitamins. They are specifically targeted for women and they are like chewable candies (the more grown up version of the flinestone vitamins!) I too dont take enought vitamins and I just ordered a ton so I HAVE to take them at this point. I realized that my first time around on Atkins, i took a few vitamins, and I think it contributed to my weight loss. I cant not try, bc at this point, Im almost deperate to loose this pounds (esp. summer being right around the corner).

Hey Lucky, have you tried the lc tortilla pizza??? It's not bad at all... I don't have the link readily available, but I KNOW there's even a picture of it in the galleries. Basically you take a lc tortilla (mine are 3 net carbs, but small), brush some olive oil on it and a little pizza sauce (beware some of these are fulllll of sugars), some cheese and pizza toppings and bake until it looks good. It's not the REAL thing, but it's pizza!!!

You can also throw some mozz cheese in a pan and let it brown on the sides and top with pizza toppings and slide it out of the the pan and voila! Pizza.

Keturah, You cannot give up if the scale doesn't move!! You can't. You got to think of this as a WOL and it WILL be easier. Sure, we all cheat (don't we??), but just get back on track... do you FEEL better? That's what keeps me going. Also, I'm back on a clean, strict induction and have found that it's enabled me to start losing again. Or... some people actually need to ADD carbs and reduce again to kick start the loss again.

Don't despair!!

Hi, my name is Heather, I am 35 years old and single. I was successful on Atkins before, but after two cases of broncitis in less than two months, I gained most of the weight back.

I have been exercising everyday and following the introduction so far so good. My main challenge is that I live in Pennsylvania and work in New York City, with a hour and a half commute each way (getting up at 4am and getting home at 9pm) regular eating times do not work.

I eat breakfast and lunch but sometimes for dinner I have to have a protein bar or shake. So far it has not been slowing down my weight loss so I guess it is ok.

I am leaving for Vegas in 50 days and hope to lose at least 10 more pounds by then!!!

what is a SAHM??? I read the story...so it was your sister writing about you? and u are the one with AJ and faith as your kids? i was a little confused

Hey Keturah..........Thank you for joining and becoming an official Atkins Chick...feel free to ask any questions or state any concerns you may have...have a great day and keep up the good work!

Yeah i was thinking about trying those vitamins....but i thought because they were choclate they may have hidden carbs or sugar....im gonna go check them out..Thank you..and welcome

Hi!
Thanks Nikki!

I'm 28, have been married for 10 yrs now with 4 children ages Justice-8, Jonas-5, Jaxyn-3(my girl), and Jaryn just turned 1. I'm a Stay-at-Home mom and wife which I may say is very hard
work but very rewarding. I live in South-west Louisiana right on the Texas border.
I have been on and off of Atkins since November of last year. I lost 30, gained 10, lost 5 and still losing.
I was so very glad to find this forum! It has helped me tremendously!

Who's next?

Welcome heather.....Thank you for joining and becoming an official Atkins Chick...feel free to ask any questions or state your concerns...have a great day and keep up the good work!

its only been 5 hours and look how far weve grown

SAHM is "Stay At Home Mom", and yes the letter is written about me by my sister.

Thanks for asking!

Forgot to mention that I have lcing since Jan. and I am on week 20 in ketosis, Yippi!!!

It has grown FAST!! I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch up everyday but i'll TRY

Thanks SuperAunt for the great ideas! I've only tried the "ground-beef-crust" pizza. I think I made the crust to thick and the sauce I used (l/c) had veggies I didn't like. But I did pick up a different l/c sauce to tryout. Now I just need l/c tortilla's, I haven't had any in a few weeks. OR maybe I'll skip the store and try the cheese crusted one..MMM!! I think I know what I'll be having for dinner tonight.



Welcome's to all the Atkins Chicks!!

That's coz we're........ ATKINS CHICKS!

Anita!!!! FORTY POUNDS since February?!?!?! That's FANTASTIC!!!

Hi Everyone !!

My name is Lori, and I am 34 (geesh, that was hard to type :lol. I have been happily married for 13 years to the most wonderful of men, but let's just say that we have grown together in many ways, hehe. We are both doing Atkins together so that helps a lot! We originally started Atkins last year and I lost almost 50 lbs. in 4 months, but my company sent me away for work for a month, and it fell apart as I just couldn't maintian the composure with eating out all the time and stress of being away ........and it has taken us til now to get back on the wagon but at least we are here again .

My whole reason in doing Atkins, besides the obvious weight loss/being healthier, is that my doctor recommended it as a way to combat polycystic ovaries and try to get my hormone levels back in check. So, although my goal is a number on the scale....my ultimate goal is to have a little one in the next couple of years . I think this thread is a great idea! Here's to the Atkins chicks!! We can do it!!
