Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 Hi My name is AlyceAnn and I live in Pa with my 15 yr old son. I have 2 married daughters. I have been overweight since I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. I gained 100 pounds with her pregnancy. I went on the Atkins diet November 1st of 1997. I weighed 185 lbs and I am 4'11 " . By June of 1998 I weighed 140. The main reason I went on the diet is (besides the weight) that I thought I was going to die if I didn't do something radical about my weight and the symptoms that were in my body due to the weight. I had severe heart palpataions, severe reflux, sereve arthritis and acid indigestion. By the third day of the diet my palpatations were gone, no relux, no indigestion and I could sleep at night with no pain. I was a miracle! The weight came off (sometimes slowly) but I felt wonderful. The more I read about insulin resistance the more I know that that is the prob I have. Well I felt so good that I started to eat *normal*. It only took me a year to gain it all back and get my symptoms back too. The main reason I gained it was *trying* to go back on. Going on this for 3 or 4 days and then going back off is a really good way to gain. (We should let the body builders know) Well I am now back on (its been a whole 12.4 hrs) I will help with my experience and I will be glad for the support. Sorry this is so long (it could have been longer !)
