    Newbie to boards, 2nd timer to Atkins

    Hi everyone
    I wanted to introduce myself. I've started induction today, and so far so good! This is my second time on Atkins. I started in November 06 and had a really good start - loosing 20lbs. Then the age old story - got a bit cocky and over Christmas had a few cheats, then went on holiday in January and all **** happened! So I'm back to start over. Unfortunately, I've put back on the 20lbs I'd lost, but I know that I can do it, because this time I'm wiser.
    I've realised that having having cheats does not work for me, it only encourages a complete carb binge! Also, I've learnt that I need support and help, which is why I've decided to join this board.

    I've been looking at the before and after pics on the board and they are so inspirational.

    This time I'm going to do it!!!

    Hi ThePerfect10, Welcome back to Atkins! I'm a second time arounder too. And you're right, we do come back wiser, more determined, and knowing we can do this because we've done it before with great results. This is the perfect place for help; I couldn't do it without all the wonderful support. You can do it!

      Hey welcome back Perfect10!!!
      Cheated didn't work for me either.... It takes a long time to gain real control. Welcome back, keep your "lessons" close to your heart, and you will be a big winner, and be stronger from your experience! That's the best part is we can leverage what we've done wrong an use it for our good! Hope to see you around!

                Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.


                Managed to get through my 1st day pretty much o.k. No coffee, gallons of water and a clean 1st day.

                I got on the treadmill too, only managed 10 mins, but its day 1. Tomorrow I'm going to strive for 15mins. I'll get back up to my 40 mins by the end of this induction!
