  • Tentative "Hello again".......

    Hi Guys

    Hope you're all well

    I have been deliberating over this post for a bit, wondering what I should say, how I should say it and even if I should post it.

    I can't tell you how many times I have re-typed the first line!!

    As embarrassed as I am to admit it but I thought I knew better than Atkins, that I thought I could (literally!!) have my cake and eat it. I reverted back to my old ways and it was too easy for me to carry on, as I moved house, had some personal strife yada yada yada......

    ANYWAY, now I am ready to be fully comitted to Atkins, I KNOW I need to do this, and that I CAN do this. I haven't put any weight back on since last time I was here (thank heavens!) but I haven't lost any either. I've also bought myself a shiny new bike and will be riding the 5 miles each way to work, so figuring that I have the exercise planned in everyday and some extra on the weekends now is the time to address what goes in my mouth! Hence the reason why I am back here!

    I plan to go to the supermarket tonight and load up on legal stuff for my first induction week (baby steps, baby steps, baby steps) and then sit like I'm doing homework and plan my meals/menus.

    With my love of exercise and my age working with me I have set my first few goals. Which are:
    To be in the 200's by September 1st
    To be 260 or under by December 1st

    In short, sorry for straying and can I come back!?

          Welcome Back...

          You are in good company.. many of us do well, then walk another path, only to find the alien mothership loaded with fat adding devices lurking at the bushes at the end of that path.

          Sounds like you have good goals. Looko forward to see you melting away!

            Sure, but first you have to give me a dollar. Wait...you're in the UK...I'll never figure out the conversion. Lol! So how about just some regular updates on how you're doing? Yeah, that would be nice.

            Of *course* you can come back! It's so nice to see you again, I remember a lot of your posts cracked me up! Good going on the bicycle! 5 miles each way! That's awesome!

                Welcome Back. I don't think I was here when you were here before but nice to meet you and again, welcome back. I use FitDay.com (well, I actually bought the program) to plan my days meals. It really helps me stay within my carbs and my percentages of fat/carbs/proteins. I can also record my activity here and look at all types of graphs about my nutritional intake and my activity. I'm crazy about graphs. Good luck on your induction.

                        Thanks guys!
                        I've had a fab day of low carbing. Not been tempted once. Without sounding too cheesy it feels different this time! Crikey dick I might be coming over all american with phrases like that - book me a slot on Oprah! (just kidding!)
