Atkins

scaeagles · 10-20-2005, 08:07 AM

My sister was morbidly obese - around 150 lbs overweight. She started Atkins about a year ago and has lost around 90 lbs. Her blood pressure has lowered dramatically, and it has helped with her blood sugar levels, and surprisingly, cholesterol.

She does exercise daily as well.

Depending on how long you do this, be prepared for plateaus. After my sis lost 50 she didn't lose any for for several weeks despite strict adherrence and exercise. Then it just started to come off again.

I know you'll be successful.

kevy, i know the struggle and challenge ahead. i just had my annual physical and together with doctors help (and cooperation at the office) i will be starting a rigourous new therapy...but, i must wait until i know for sure i can leave my desk as needed.

the key here is a doctor that cares, an understanding manager and my willingness to make this work.

i wish you great success and hope you will also have the guidance of your doctor.
