    On The Atkins Bus Again!

    Greetings, all...
    I've begun Atkins again today after an almost 8 month hiatus - due mainly to my own self defeating attitudes & inability to adapt to certain stressors. Yuck. Anyway...in May 2005, I started Atkins at 268 lbs. Got all the way down to 185 by August 2006 (after several plateaus!), at which time my kids & I moved to Northern Virginia from New Mexico, started a new job, etc. Since then, I'm up to 239.4 - as of this morning...sigh. None of my clothes fit. Last night, I saw some pictures taken of me recently & realized how close I am to where I started...and rather than shaming myself all the way to the fridge (old habit), I decided to pull out the books, look & see what's online & immerse myself again. So, here I am!
    Onward & Upward!
    (or is that Downward?!?!)

    Hey there! Welcome back. I am starting over as well. Just like you, I was very close to goal at the end of last summer and now none of my cute clothes that I bought fit. We'll get there!

    You aren't too far from me! Just about an hour away. Welcome to the east coast. I hope you like it.

            Thank you, everyone, for the welcome!

            Sigh of relief - my day is almost over & I managed to stay focused & on track. Yay!!!
            I realized after reading today that I'd forgotten to do measurements - which I'd never
            done the first time around & wished I had after I lost all that weight. Sooo...I've got
            tape measure at the ready & will do measuring in the morning before work. I'd also never paid much attention to BMI - but my scale can calculate it, so, I'll do that too! The other thing I didn't do today was drink enough water...have just gotten out of the habit! I have to remind myself that all this fatfatfat isn't going anywhere if I don't flush it out!

              Hey Linda, boy make sure you measure...with this being a ketogenic diet, you know as I do, we burn fat and it's composition takes up more space on us than muscle, so it will cause you to shrink!!!! And shrinking is good, and it will prove to you that things are working...
              Glad to have you at STAC we check in every day, doing roll call...Please join us and post often, and we'll be there for you!
