I started Atkins on Memorial day of this year. I've lost 23 lbs. I continue to stay away from sugar, flour, pastas, etc. I don't even crave them anymore.
I feel that this is a diet that I can live with. I always gained weight on the low fat diets.

>I started Atkins June 23rd and as of this date I have lost 23 pounds.
>My system resisted, during the first period I had to go to 5 to 10 grams of carbs. I averaged about 2.5 pounds a week on that amount. I want to lose about 5 more pounds and then start maintaining. That is going to be a job for me because I don't think I can add many carbs to my daily diet without starting to go back up. I am not really looking forward to it but I also can't wait to get started on maintance.
>I feel that its the best thing that has happened to my system in many years, I feel great and I feel I am doing my body good. I don't miss anything except the frosty from Wendys and ice cream . I will try some of both soon. LOL
I am going in for blood work when I meet my goal. Prior to starting I had blood work done and my colestrol was up a little and also my blood pressure. My blood pressure is down to normal now and I can't wait to see my colestrol.
