Hey Janina

Hi,

I too used this board before my surgery.  I mostly lurk now since I had my RNY.  I love how supportive you guys are so I come for the cheering section mostly.  Also,  I am just short of four years out so I have to get creative as my surgery requires me to really work it....what do they say.."the honeymoon is over"  anyhow...I too was doing Atkins with little results.  I am at what I thought was goal of 135 but would really like to be down another 5-10 pounds and just couldn't get there.  I found myself actually fighting a five pound fluctuation up with the atkins.  Anyway I decided to try the calorie counting and I have lost down to 130 this week with the calorie not carb counting.  I also kicked up the excercise thanks to the wonderful wii fit I finally found.  I hope you get results too.  Thought I would share...I am hoping you get the encouraging results I did...I am anxious to see.

Thanks so much for sharing.  My first full week off Atkin's, I went up 3 pounds, but then I just weighed myself this morning and I'm down one pound.  I'm hoping calorie counting will be for me.

Thanks for the encouragement!!
