I am back in the Atkins program (day 4) after leaving it for a couple of years and I have noticed that EVERYONE has something negative to tell me this time. My Wife runs a franchise weight loss center and I think all they talk about around their water cooler is how "bad" Atkins is... I am amazed at the amount of hate and contempt some of these folks have for any program that does not require counseling 3 times a week by a self appointed "expert" on MY health. I can already tell this will be more challenging to get through induction than last time because of the lack of impathy. My hat is off to all of you for sticking to your guns and creating a "happy place" for the low carbers. I am currently 6-2 and a little north of 265, my goal is 215-225.

Wow over a 100lbs gone! That is awesome. I am kind of simple and the way Atkins works makes sense to me. I think franchise places like my Wife's are too busy trying to decipher the "magic formula" to weight loss to see the simplicity. I figure that ANY program that gets 50 lbs off of me (and doesn't require me to eat 1000 apples or whatever) is a GOOD program. My Wife's cohorts are too busy telling me why everything else won't work to tell me why their program will, so I will just stick to Atkins. Congratulations again on your loss...
