3rd time on the board, 4th or 5th time on Atkins

[janiac]

The last time I was going strong was in December of 2004. Managed to go from 219 (Spring of 2004) to 164. It all fell apart after Christmas 2004.

Well as of tomorrow I'll be back on program. My heart isn't in it, but it wasn't the last time I started either. But after a few days that changes.

Several people at work have decided to have a weight loss club. We'll weigh in on Tuesdays and plop a dollar in the till. At the end of the month, the biggest "loser" gets the cash. I want it!

Anyway, I've been rereading the book, planned my food selections for the week and did the grocery shopping this afternoon. Bought a lunchbox and a Big Bubba Keg for my water. Not sure how well the water intake will go while at work. I'm also worried about the ketosis breath.

Haven't decided how I'll exercise. Right now it's SO hot I'm afraid I'll keel over on my first lap of the walking track.

It's nice to see so many familiar people. Several have reached goal. Congratulations! Others have maintained. Highly admirable!

So here I am... again. I won't be dropping in as frequently as before, but I'll be around.

I feel off recently too, it is very hard to get remotivated. After just being on vacation and gaining even more wait I have found my rmotivation because I can't breath I am too fat again. I hope this helps so you do not get to that point.
I hear you about the weather, my kids want to go outside really bad and I told them noway you'll just have to entertain yourself here. They say on wednesday the temp may come down. Maybe you could ait for that before exercising outside.

GOODLUCK to you, as long as you are they only one doing Atkins I am sure you willl bring home the $$$$$

I was down to 164. It's all back now and then some. The weigh in today showed that I'm 227, fully dressed and after breakfast. LOL I need to adjust my weight counter.

As a matter of fact I AM the only one doing a regimented program. It seems to me that everyone else is doing their own version of a weight loss program. You know, a little from this program, a little from that. I wish us all well.

I've decided that since my DH walks several laps on the walking path at the park three times a week, I'll join him. Maybe not for all the laps and certainly not at his pace in this heat, but one slow lap is more than I'm doing right now.

Thanks for the welcome back everyone! I'm feeling better about things today.

I remember you, welcome back. I fell off the path last year and have struggled to get back, but I absolutely refused to gain it ALL back. I basically regained some and have done enough to maintain. Now to lose it all (including the regain) and maintain as I have been, but at a much lower weight.
