I thought I'd reintroduce myself once again.

[jelly]

I started back up on Tuesday and I waited to post, because last time I tried to restart I wasn't ready and failed miserably. I am still suffering from induction flu, maybe tomorrow will be better. I taste metal and pure thirst so I'm pretty sure that's ketosis. I had great sucess the first time on Atkins (this is the 3rd time) but I had some trouble keeping my blood sugar up.

This time I'm not staying on induction too long (stayed on it close to a year last time) and I'll be moving through the rungs. I'm excited about starting again and I love this board. The support here is wonderful. I could look at the before and after pictures forever.

I'm already down 3 1/2 lbs, so I'm off to a great start. I like this forum for those of us that are starting over.

Hi Jelly!

You have come to the right place. Check out the stickys at the top of the forum. They are full of good advise for those of us who are on our umpteenth stab at this WOE.

Hang in there, the flu will be over before you know it and you will be feeling much better!

Welcome Welcome Welcome- you sound just like me!!!! My 3rd time! I am throwing out the scales for a while so I can concentrate on feeling good because i think we all tend to lose a bit slower the second or third time around

Welcome, Jelly!

Like you, I had a lower starting weight last time, but gained it all back, plus some. I'm on my way back down again.

You are going to do GREAT! Don't forget to read every sticky up top. And drink your water. Are you exercising yet?

If you want to have a buddy, sent a private message to Terry, or pick someone on the forum and ask them yourself. You'll see (probably already have!) that we are a very active, motivated, "nosy" group! lol
