Want to join the Second Time Around Club.

[Uniquely_Ambi]

Is it too late for me to join? I started Atkins in Jan of 2004 and did wonderful on it for a year. I lost 65 lbs. and then for some reason slowly starting falling downhill. By the time my wedding came around I was doing anything, but Atkins. Since my wedding in April I've gained 20 lbs. (unbelieveable!). I started reinduction on June 1st, so it's now day 5 for me. I need all the support and help I can get.

It's never too late to join Amber! I think those of us that have fallen off the wagon have a lot to offer since we learn more from our mistakes than our successes.

Good for you Checkers! Keep up the good work.

Amber- Welcome to the club! I just started back June 3rd and even though I cheated a little yesterday, I've lost 1.5 lbs. I think just being a part of theis group has given me new sense of responsibilty. Not only am I sticking to it for me but for everyone else here too.

Reporting in helps me be a good girl. I made myself a wrap with turkey, hummus, mayo and goat cheese all wrapped in in a piece of romain lettuce. It was sooo good. I'd never really tried making a wrap before and it was a really nice change. Having a variety of tastes together is really good.

Welcome Amber, everyone is welcome. By the way, I PMed Tom and asked him if we couldn't have our own forum, like Century Club as since we have had 12 pages in 1 week, I think there is a need for it. He PMed me back and said he thought it was a good idea. So, if you have any MOD friends, get out the word. If we had our own Forum, lots more folks could find us.

So far, so good today! My only prob today is a headache from caffeine withdrawals, so I broke down and had a diet dew along with some excedrins. I drank a LOT the last couple of weeks, so I guess I'm going to have to wean myself down again. I was only drinking a couple when I worked 3rds to stay awake, but I worked a week of thirds last month and got back into the nasty habit. Already have 80 oz of water in though, and getting ready to finish up my fitday for totals now! I'm a little short on my veggies though, so I'm fixing fresh jalapeno poppers (jalapenos, cr cheese topped with bacon) for snack later. 1 day down......

what ensive what did I hear??? ensive I think i heard someone confess to a cheat....hmmm I am pretty sure I heard that and yet no picture....Hmmmm......must think just because we are second timers (or thrid, fourth etc etc) that we are lenient.....Must not let the new comers think that now can we!!!!!! I WANT MY PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!! :guns

Cheat = picture.......if I have to fight you for it then I will demand an embarrassing one. But I think this is a first so....cough it up!!!

[elfish99]

Ok, wait! I did cheat but I have a good excuse. I had to get alot of something in my stomach so I could take a pain pill (I get super-nauseated otherwise) and I didn't have anything lc in reach.

[DebbietheHugBug]

Ok, I have recommitted today. I'm back on induction for awhile. I'm going to workout out AT LEAST 3X week. Tonight I'm going to weight train 30 min and do 30 min on the treadmill.

I don't want to change my stats yet though. I'll wait about 3 days to lose the water weight and then I'll use that as my starting weight.

[WolfSinger]

Can I join? Pretty please?

It was a little over a year ago when I first started on Atkins. Only had 40 I wanted to lose and actually accomplished that within 5 months. Everyone at my office thought there was something dreadfully wrong with me the way the weight was coming off.

Long story short(er), due to a number of family issues from last September forward, I've manage to put back on 30 of the 40 I lost! Time to get back to work.

Yeah, I know EXACTLY where I went wrong, lol. "Oh, I can have a little of that, it won't hurt me." A "little" became full blown munchie attacks.

Back to work.

Today is day 6 for me. Man, the weekend was tough. But I'm through it. On to day 7 I go!

[DebbietheHugBug]

Alesam, thanks LOL :raving

Today is my official restart day. Any cheating from this day on will deserve an embarrassing pic :yikes

Bikini... uhhhhh no!!!!! LOL BUT I will "consider" PJs :help

[Sarah1341]

How is everyone doing today?

Today is day 7 for me. Still feeling good. Got my exercise is last night! Having a tough time with the water - but getting in more than I was. Weight loss seems a little slower for me this time. Down 4 lbs. But that is better than being up!

Hope everyone has a great day! Love the idea of forum for the 2nd time arounders.
