Let me tell you, I have been so terrified of doing Atkins again for about the past year (I HATE gaining weight back! 
)...but I am ready to do it and continue on it for life this time, no turning back!
Richard (user name Korelis on here) is my husband, and he's been an excellent motivation for me in many ways. We started Atkins for real for the first time about July of last year. I think we lasted about 3 months or so before Hurricane Rita hit and we we stuck in my in-laws house with some not so good food choices! We stopped then and have started on it again and again after that. My first time, I lost 34 pounds I think, and it was excellent! So happy with myself...then I gained 60-70 pounds in the past year, what I had lost plus at little more than 30 more putting me at my all time high weight of 329
. I knew that Atkins had worked, but didn't want to quit again and get higher and higher!!!
I knew I needed to lose weight for REAL, no excuses, when I, at the age of 21, went to the doctor for swollen legs. It was so bad it hurt to walk. I am 21! Patients I had in nursing homes had that problem, not me!!! So I did something abuot it. I made a real effort for about a month to eat BETTER and I did just that and (along with my water pills for my legs) lost about 15 pounds now. I am proud of myself for it
, but I know that I need more...
Richard and I were looking at the success stories and before and after pictures on here this weekend and THAT is what I want! I want to be one of y'all who can say "I lost 100+ pounds!!!"
In fact, on my STA, or techinally third or fourth time around!, I will succeed, I will do it, and in a few months I WILL BE THE ONE!!!
