  • Restarting

    Hi all,
    I have restarted Atkins. Once I found my way back to this board, I couldn't remember my login info so I had to restart that too! Four years ago I lost 60lbs and used this board for so much help and support. My goal at the time was to be able to wear a bikini on a summer vacation we were planning for June of 2004. I met that goal and for the first time since high school I could wear cute clothes. My downfall started on that vacation. After 11 months I went senile and thought that I could start eating whatever I wanted to. Can you believe I thought I would magically maintain the weight? I didn't gain the weight back real fast, but it just kept creeping back and I just kept buying bigger clothes again--disgusting. I went back to trying other diets like I have so much in my life and as I already knew--none of those worked for me. Atkins is the only thing that has ever been succesfull for me. Well, here I am again, I am determined to get the weight back off and keep it off. I really loved getting the energy I feel back.
