Gang-
Day one for me again. I have read the book (all night) and got the house ready. I look at it this way, if I can quit smoking, I can certainly do this. If you mess up thats ok. Learn from your mistakes and move on. Thanks for all the advice and a very supportive board.

Well here I am again Glad to see we got our own forum since I jumped ship. Don't know why I can't get it through my thick head that I really do feel sick when I eat crap. Maybe this time will be the one that sticks. (Thanks Lynne for nudging me back on

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

I just need to come here every day and be told by all of you that I CAN do this.....

Absolutely. You CAN do this and you are going to do it.

Today I was really saddened by several problems I have to face (non weight-related) and I was thinking about a huge bar of chocolate and a glass of wine. And I came here to read & post... and feel better already. No more cravings. Sometimes it is just the support we need, the feeling of not being alone on this journey. I can do it. You CAN do it.

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

Hey everybody,

I am so sorry, including myself, I have not been honest and true. I know I am accountable to myself and the group. This week I have been busy, and it's going to get busier for me. I have missed the inspirational messages and reading and catching up with everybody. I was sick and tired of "being sick and tired". I prayed and prayed to give me strength and confidence to get exercise into my life. I am taking "baby steps".

School starts next week, and I intend to attend a Tai Chi class twice a week. That is my challenge, and also to continue to walk on the treadmill and a "seated" stair climber 3-4 times a week. I'm so glad everyone is doing great! Keep going!

Oh, I forgot to tell you I'm attending a food addictions group, a very small group from my church. They are very supportive and encouraging. I have also joined "any type of exercise" support group to help one another and not have to do it alone. Awesome! Later.

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

Welcome back Ckiwis

You are not alone in your struggle. There are several here that are in the same boat right now and we are all in this together.

You are making great steps in the right direction. My Aunt attends Tai Chi class and loves it. The treadmill and stair climber are nothing to sneeze at either. The food addictions group also sounds like it will be very helpful to you.

There is a daily check in thread that you ought to check out each day and let us know how you are doing and share what it going on with you. In turn it will be nice to get to know you a little better by posting each day. Or at least as often as you can. I work in the local school department so I will be busy soon as well.

Re: Welcome to the Second Time Around Club

Hello All,

I haven't visited this board in awhile and was happy to see a forum for those of us doing Atkins again.I lost about 60 pounds on Atkins over1 1/2 years ago then kinda fell off the wagon. I tried many times to get back on but would go off in a short time. I started a execise program in April and that has kept the weight off even though I haven't been on Atkins.That and that I'm going throgh a Divorce (not by my choice) and had alot of days when I haven't felt like eating or I've been so busy taking care of three kids and the house on my own that I forgot too. I'm looking forward to starting Induction Sunday and hope that with Atkins and the exercise I've been doing I can lose 40 pounds ( 50 would be fabulous) by the New Year! I'm going to be needing alot of support though which is why I'm back here!
