Hi to All at 
I've been a long time lurker and occasional poster here since I started on Atkins back in November of 2004. I just want to say from the start the everyone on this board is beyond wonderful, the suport and encouragement you give each other and is amazing! I did really well in the first 11 months (nearly 100 lbs gone) and then, I decided that one cheat at one meal wouldn't hurt (yes I can hear you all saying Yeah Right!!), well since then its been on again, off again until last monday when I came back to my senses with a vengance! I started again on strict induction on the 6th November.
Thankfully I didn't put all the weight back on, and although I don't know exactly how much I have put back on, lets say that there is at least 3 inches all around that has crept back!
This is my new game plan:
Just a quick question while I'm here, I want to become a supporting member but I can't use paypal from where I live (Bahrain), is there another way?
Looking forward to getting to know you all better (although through my time of lurking I feel like I know you all so well!)

This is my new game plan:
- Thrown out the scales (I am addictive by nature.....shocking!)
- Put the tape measure away
- Only let my trainer measure me once a month (big changes are far more motivating that little ones to me)
- Work out 4 mornings a week for one hour with my trainer (I am really lucky here that I have a gym in the building, so she comes to me, we do a mixture of cadio and weights and pilates) This keeps me accountable! (by the way I never did any excercise when I first did Atkins
) - Stay firm on counting my carbs - I plug everything into fitday - I have never had a problem with the eating plan on Atkins as I LOVE the food we are allowed on this WOE
- Work my way up the OWL rungs after 4 weeks of induction (something I never did last time, I would add in foods at innapropriate times!)
- Drink, drink, drink my water! Day 1 it was hard, now i'm up to 100oz a day and chugging it down cause i'm so thirsty - amazing how quickly our body is reminded of what is good for it!
- Start posting more on (I don't have a lot a free time, but I know how much of a motivation this board has been to me in the last couple of years, so i'm gonna make time and hopefully pay it forward!)
- Remember everytime I moan about having to pee again that i'm flushing my fat down the loo!!

I'll intend to loose those three inches, then all the dozens of other inches just waiting to be lost and then........take over the world I think (in my spare time!!!) Txs for the support - you have done amazingly, wow, a real inspiration!
