My boyfriend, Atkins Guy, and I are going on our 2nd Atkins Diet. The first time we did this was circa 2003, when we stayed on Induction for about 3 months. Though eventually we got sick of the dietary restrictions, we did lose a LOT of weight... but we never bothered with Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) and found that returning to carbs meant we returned to unrestricted addiction to sugar.
(We are both pretty fond of bread, cookies and Cold Stone Creamery.)
Long story short - we got chubby again. This journal will track our Second Attempt... this time, aiming to maintain our weight loss in a healthy measured manner after Induction's over.
Atkins Gal's goal: to lose 40 pounds. (Current weight: 170)
Atkins Guy's goal: to lose 30 pounds. (Current weight: 192)
In addition to the diet, we will be exercising at a gym and trying to maintain a varied, active lifestyle. You can track or adventures (or misadventures) in exercise here too.
Wish us luck!
