Ok, this has to be a vent session for me. I know that I havent posted lately, just been really busy.

I started back on the Atkins diet 3 wks ago after being off it for about 4 years. The first time around my weight just melted off, 70 pounds in 8 months. This time I have been on it for 3 wks and havent lost an inch. Granted I havent been drinking my water, cant stand it, it really makes me gag. I have been doing weak decaf ice tea. But last time I didnt do the water either. I am wondering if my body just doesnt respond to this kind of diet anymore? A few months back I had started a low fat diet with my mom for a support partner for her (heart problems) and lost 10 pounds and 6 3/4 inches in a month. Went off and gained it all back. So when I decided this was it I had to lose the weight I started back on atkins because of my past success with it. Nope!!! It isnt working at all! So as of last night I am off it for good! I guess I will have to start the low fat, try to eat healthy way again tomorrow. Just feel like the past three weeks have been such a waste of time! And I was really good, no cheating!!

Sorry for the rant! Thanks for listening!

Just thought I would start one on my own. Before with my mom I did low fat, and just mainly tried to eat healthy! So as of now that is the plan. Just get healthy.

Thanks for the support.

Jackie, I'm sorry that Atkins didn't work for you this time around.

Jackie don't give up! Find a new plan and try it. Not everything works for everyone so it's finding the right program and sticking with it. Even then your body will react part way through and you'll have to change it up again.

You can do it!
