Second pass - committed though!

[Solasscc]

Hi all -

This will be my second start of induction - I did the Atkins thing about a year and a half ago. The 10 pounds I lost then made me feel great, but they have been back with me for the last 6 months and I can't stand it. So, here we go again.

My challenges include an excessive amount of business travel (I'm in Japan as I write this, which is why I plan to start on Monday). I will have a good three weeks at home to do Induction right. I have the Slim-in-Six exercise DVDs, so I plan to do some kind of exercise, even if it's just a walk, every day. I also am buying a kayak this week which I am determined to use until it gets too cold.

So, I look forward to reading the ADBB again - I found it very helpful last time around. And I'm glad there's a forum for those of us who have come back to this wol.

Thanks in advance -

Sarah

Sarah, If ADBB was helpful last time you aint seen nothin yet! STAC is a new forum created just for people like us on our second (third, tenth) time around.

Check out what we have to offer with challenges and lots of good information stickys at the top of the forum aimed at re-inductees.

Come often and post a lot. It helps to keep you on track and be accountable to your new woe.

Welcome!!

Hi there! Welcome to the board.

Kayak, huh? Sounds really interesting, scary, and yet, fun. I suggest you reread the DANDR updated version this weekend while your traveling, if you can, and post often

Best wishes on your journey, in the air and on the ground, with Atkins!

Hiya, and welcome! Glad you came back to this woe.

This STAC-ked forum is the absolute BEST. I have never felt so supported, motivated, and egged on by anyone in my life. Knowing all these people who have done this before and are in the middle of doing it again is the most wonderful thing in the world to me.

Make sure you check in EVERY DAY.

Oh, and we are doing a measuring thing every 2 weeks. Measure yourself on Tuesday, record it on MyBodyComp.com, and you'll be starting with us again on our third go-round.

Check out the Water Challenge, too. We're doing a gallon a day (128 fluid oz). (ok, some of us are....some of us <cough cough> are TRYING to be consistent....) But you'll want to wait until you're home for that, lol! Nothing like being on an airplane and running to the john every 30 seconds!

Hi Desert -

Have you had a difficult time eating in Japan? I've noticed that food here can be very carb-y. And all that rice!

Thanks -
