    Thrilled to be here --- again!

    My name is Janice and I'm 59 years old. I want to ask for help and support as I re-start Atkins. I lost 50 lbs. several years ago but I let myself down and re-gained the weight plus 10 more pounds. I am at the heaviest I've ever been. I have become over-weight, depressed and ashamed of myself. I do not like living this way so I have finally gotten to a place where I KNOW I can change bad habits for good habits. I would love to join this 50+ group and I will promise to stick to my induction phase and be an encourager to others. I know I need to change my picture but in a way, it gives me encouragement knowing what I can look like again. Just picture me in reality at having a double chin and 50 more pounds than the picture shows. lol
    I want to learn all about the new Board and start my 'ticker', etc.
    It feels great to be back. It feels great to be doing what I know I should be doing in losing this weight ---- again.
    Re-started: 2/23/09
    Starting: 215
    Current: 207
    First Goal: 175

    Re: Thrilled to be here --- again!

    LADIES, I am so excited to introduce Janice to you. She has been a member of this board for about as long as I have and was once one of the best mods, helpful and supportive and best of all FUN. I know you'll enjoy her and she might even liven up this tired old site. We know it could use it. LOL
    Janice, welcome. Tom has been working on the board, making it pretty and more functional. Look around, click on stuff and enjoy.
    There are still a lot of the old crowd around but the new folks are fun and I am enjoying being back.
    Its a good group.

      Welcome, I wish I had this board the first time I did Atkins. It is a wealth of knowledge, ideas and support. Take it one day at a time, one pound at a time.

          ceemarie, it's nice to meet you. Wow, I'm very impressed and motivated by your progress. You are doing a great job. Congratulations!
          Lynn, it's so good to hear from you. I'm thrilled to be back and to know you are still here. Coming home is as comfortable as an old glove. lol Please keep me on the straight and narrow. I'm gonna need the help.
          Bren, it's not fair that you only re-gained 30 lbs. You gotta take some of mine so we'll be even. Evidently you stayed busy and weren't as bad as me. lol
          I'm so happy to be here. Let's get going and be BIG losers together.

                  Hi Bren, its old home week. To bad we can't encourage others to return. Hope your families are fine.

                    Welcome to the best part of the site!! I'm glad you've decided to bring yourself back and start again. It great to have a place to come and talk, complain or whatever we need to do....I don't know if I would have been able to stick with this WOE without the ladies and gents here. It's a great place to be at this point of my life!!

                      Welcome back Janice and Bree. Good to see you here. I've also lost and restarted a few times now, at least twice. But, here we are again. Best of luck to you both. One of us should start an over 50's daily check in, I'd be there.

                        Hi Mickkey!

                        Wow, you are doing GREAT!! Just seeing your stats give me encouragement. I wish I was where you are. I'm doing good and hopefully can celebrate breaking into the 100's soon.
                        I don't know if I can check in every single day but if you want to start a daily check-in, I'll do my best to at least 'check in'. The more we stay involved with others in the same boat, the more encouraged we will be.
                        You go, girl!!!!!

                          Thanks Janice! Nice to meet you. Well, I'm a back slider so I'm not feeling like I'm doing too great, but I keep trying.
