So, I've done it. Completely started over my weight loss journey. I strayed for about 2 months, no excuses. I got married and just lost focus of my weight loss goals. But now, my husband and I are BOTH doing the Atkin's full force and we just finished our first week! But more on that in a sec.
While I strayed, I ate really bad. I thought for sure I would have gained all my weight back, but I didn't! I gained five pounds of it, yes, but I got back on track before I got out of hand again.
So using this as a reset, I originally started at 399.4 pounds and I got down to 371.0 before I strayed from Atkin's. When I started Atkin's back up on April 30th, my weight was back up to 375.8. Now, as of April 7th, after my first week of doing the lifestyle plan I'm down to 368.4.
I feel better than I did that first time around. I feel stronger, like I can fight away the urges for chocolates and pizza. I feel like I can do this for sure! After seeing the results after my first week, it just gives me more initiative and more positive energy to do this!

I hope that Atkins will work for you two and it isn't too limiting. I found with "diets" I will lose a ton of weight and then go "off" them and gain all the weight back and then some. Restricting foods/food groups doesn't work for me because it doesn't teach me to change habits long term.
Are you consulting a doctor or nutritionist? I think with 200 and 100 pounds to lose that might be a good idea, do you? Either way, good luck to you both!
