Hi all I ' m Kyoko; so happy to have found you all after being on another not - so - friendly - to - newbies site.
My husband and I started Atkins on July 22nd ( it ' s like the first day of the rest of our lives ) and I ' ve literally had to re - learn everything i ' ve ever known about food!
I ' ve been strictly sticking to Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution and lost 6 pounds. My husband veered off into his own apologue of it and lost 25... go figure. I only wanted to lose 10 initially but now I so believe in this way of life that I plan to continue it forever.
Thanks for listening.

Welcome Kyoko!!!! I hope you find this site friendlier!!!
You know... I ' m glad you said that you plan to continue it forever. That means your weight loss will continue to stay lost. Otherwise, it will come back. It doesn ' t work well if all you do is lose weight and then go back to whatever it was that caused the wt gain in the first place, ya know?
Men are SO lucky when it comes to wt loss... try not to compare yourself to your dh ( or any OTHER man ). It ' s like comparing apples and oranges, you just shouldn ' t do it. [ / icon_wink. gif]
Welcome again... and hope you like it here!
