I finally started Atkins again. I've been weight training and I wanted to add some muscle mass before going back on it again.

(Background: Five years ago, I lost 60 lbs on Atkins while I was on crutches from a broken leg. Kept it off for 2 years, then had acute tonsillitis, which caused sleep disorder which caused me to gain it all back. Got rid of the tonsils last year.)

I'm happy to say, it's been 3 weeks, and I'm down 15 lbs. This is the way I remember it last time! I'm still lifting (high-protein diet is good for this) and taking creatine, so the weight loss is better than expected at this point. I'm on my way down from 310 lbs and currently am at 295. My goal is 250 to begin with, then I'll decide whether or not to keep going to 220 right away or take a break.
