    Where to start?....

    Hi everyone.. I started atkins for my first time and 2004 and it got me to my most happy weight. I am up to my almost heighest ever weight and not sure what to do.. I justed moved to Vancouver from the east coast and starting a new life here.. I am obsessed with being unhappy with my weight. I start school in 6 weeks and am thinking about starting up again? It is stressful to start but I am beyond stressed now.. how did you guys motivate yourself and decide that you could do this again for the second time around?

    Welcome! For me it was my health. Mind, body and soul. This is my second successful time and it really does get easier. I'm learning so much more this time around about how Atkins works. I'm also doing a lot of soul searching. I have enough stressors in my life from Hurricane Katrina and I need stability and structure sometimes to just make it through the day. I'm 2.5 weeks in and feeling great!

      Hi Star...Its hard to believe you need to lose weight looking at the picture in your avatar! You're lovely! That being said, I guess its a matter of how much we want this. Here is a link to our Cheat Free Challenge...its not for everyone, perhaps, but its really helped a large number of us to have someone to be accountable to! http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...878#post457878

      You can do it, hon! All you gotta do is start!

          Welcome to STAC, Sash! You came to the right place. I am an east coast transplant too! I am in Washington state right now, on the east side, but i hope to make it over to Seattle and to Vancover sometime as well. I understand it is absolutely gorgeous over there.

          Hang in there with us ~ a lot of us are just re-starting too. Keep posting a lot and reading the boards everyday. It really does help. I am obsessed with my weight gain too ~ it is all i think about sometimes and that is pretty sad. To spend so much time in such deep sorrow over the way i look... it is hard, isn't it! But we are all here to support each other. Looking forward to hearing more from you!

            Welcome STar!

            I was once too at a happy weight back a few years back when I was first on atkins 2003.... went back to my old way of eating and ballooned back up to my HIGHEST weight EVER in my life 215.... it took a picture of me on Vacation to see how bad I had gotten.

            Every day is a struggle to stay motivated... I wanna be hot - lol
            I want to be here for my kiddo..

            I strongly urge you to start a Stats Journal ( if you haven't yet) to keep you motivated check mine out!
