I asked my Dr. last month what I could do to lose weight and he told me to try the new adkins plan. I started last Fri. and so far have lost 9 pounds. Just wondering how quickly anybody else lost.

Thanks,
Carmen

Is it "Atkins" or "Adkins"?

congratulations on the weight loss. I have a friend who has had success with the Atkins. Just don't go crazy on the fat intake. He watched that. I don't know about the New Atkins, maybe they address that.

The book I am using is called "The NEW Atkins for the new you". My Dr. told me this was the one for me so I'm trying it out to see how it goes.

I started the "new Atkins" last Monday and I am down 4 lbs. I always feel so much better when I get off sugar and the other white stuff that I don't understand why I ever go back on it. Good luck on your quest.

Well, I have been sick the past week so didn't lose as much. I am up to 12.5 lbs gone now. Still have a lot more to go.

Well I don't know how much weight I have lost now because my scales broke. I did get my dh to measure me last night though and I have lost a total of 7 inches.

I still have a lot more to go but am excited at how easy it is coming off so far.

Well, I am up to 23 pounds gone and 16.5 inches total. And, finally I am out of plus size RTW clothes for the first time in about 8 years. That feels so good. The weight is still coming off, just a little bit slower now. That doesn't bother me though because it is still coming off.

Good luck to anyone else that is trying out the Atkins and I hope you have as much success as I have had so far.
