Hi all — or should I just wave at Leanne? Thought I’d check in with an update. I’ve lost track of my P2G, but the hubster and I started Atkins (again) two and a half weeks ago, and so far, I’m down 10lbs and he’s down 16lbs. I know that Atkins isn’t for everyone, but it works very well for us. Neither of us are ever hungry and, so far, we haven’t missed the bread, potatoes, and other starches. We stayed on the initial “Induction Stage” for an extra week, and then this weekend will start adding a few more carbs in the form of berries, nuts, and some different veggies.

The huge thing is that neither of us has wavered, or really even given it much thought. Our energy levels always go UP (contrary to what people think), we sleep well, and personally, I feel 100% better off the bread, though it was never a problem for hubby. I also ran it past my doctor, who had good things to say about it, based on the weight loss AND lab results from some of his patients who’ve done Atkins.

So, we’re going to stay on this plan for as long as it keeps working. How’s everyone else doing? You should stop by occasionally and fill us in.

I believe I’m down close to 20lbs total, but I’ll start a new P2G goal as of this posting:

P2G summer goal: 28lbs
