Well I haven't lost a thing in 2 days. I am not going to get bummed over it. I know what my body does. I will go for 2 to 4 days and not see a loss then get up one moring and BAM 2 or 3 pounds gone? Does that even make since? Well remember how I said I wouldnt let others get me down? Well they aren't... I am still on cloud 9 over my weight loss but yesterday someone said "Oh so and so's son tried to do Atkins and it put him in the hospital. The Dr said he can't do Atkins, that it isn't safe for his body". I just said "huh... I wonder why? It is a very healthy way to eat" Anyways in my head I was thinking... maybe he didnt do it right or maybe he had another health condition that helped put him there. I kindof felt like it was a dig because it came from my mother in law and she said it to my husband (her son) who is going to start the diet with me next week. She isnt the only one giving me grief or making comments, my mom and my sister aren't too happy with me doing Atkins either. I think they have visions of me eating nothing but steak every day!
I just want to say thank you to my fatsecret friends who give me nothing but support. I am going to prove to the negative influences in my life that Atkins is a good thing by reaching my goal and becoming a healthier me. :)

Amanda, a lot of people do Atkins improperly and this could very easily make them sick. Not eating enough is one of these problems. That's why it is so important to eat plenty. Atkins is NOT just meat, eggs, and cheese. There are plenty of veggies to be eaten. I don't get people. I don't understand how they are against Atkins but would be perfectly accepting if you tell them you are on a low carb or whole foods plan.
As far as the weight loss, it is perfectly normal for our bodies to lose a fair amount, stop, then start losing again. After a significant loss our bodies will need to readjust. It does not mean the plan isn't working. It will lose again. Look at other people's weight loss charts. Most peoples will show this.

Amanda you don't have to say a word to those who don't understand Atkins just let them see how well it works. They will see how wonderful you look and feel and they cant argue with results. Seeing is believing, you are only doing this for you. I think most of the comments are made from jealousy, people are funny that way. Keep doing what your doing and keep smiling. :)

Sometimes people make me so sad. I think we have to learn to start feeling sad and not angry about people who start saying nasty discouraging things to and about us. Either they don't understand which obviously they don't or they are jealous. Or they are those types that I can't stand that make themselves feel better by making someone else feel worse. ugh I really don't like those folks. Wait til more of that weight starts melting off and they are wondering why their stomachs continue to grow over there pants and legs burn yet another hole in their fav pair of jeans. Don't let them get to you. You know what is best for your body. Listen to it and if you are going Atkins right, you should be fine.

I think most people have negative comments because they don't undertant the diet. All the people in my life that are Atkins downers have never read the book and are just going off of hear say. I know they probably care about me and don't want me to do a diet that is unhealthy or as my sister is fond of saying - you may lose 50 pounds but you will put back on 75. I think my mother in law would benefit greatly from this way of eating. She is just very gulible and if someone says it put them in the hospital she is going to believe every word. Plus I think she doesnt really want to commit to this lifesyle change so she lets negative opinions keep her from trying. I won't let other's opinions dictate my eating habits. I know what is healthy but it does make me sad that other people don't understand. I think my mom and sister would be happier if I just switched to taking diet pills or something! LOL!

Sometimes I get aggravated by the Atkins naysayers but most of them know nothing about the food plan and haven't read the book or the research on it. All I know is I have gotten off insulin and my other blood sugar meds and one blood pressure med. I have lost nearly 40 lbs. I am eating healthier than I ever have and I feel great. Don't worry about the weight gain.

Hi Amanda I'm Paula (AKA pbelley) I'm from Tampa, FL. My family are big fishermen. We women are big watchers fo fishermen. LOL! Here we go to lakes there are 140 lakes just in our county. then there is the Gulf of Mexico just 45 mins away & the Atlantic 2 hours away. Soooo! you can see why this is a BIG activity around here. I even have a pond with small bass that my son caught & stocked. That is unless the alligator hasn't eaten them all.
I am with you about all the folks from around the globe. It makes you realize how small the world has become.
Its so nice to learn more about you & thanks for being my buddy!
