  • Back from hibernation...

    Hello STACers ~

    I haven't been around for several months - looks like there are a lot of new faces around here! That is so cool. I've been on an emotional hibernation since November but now i am back and ready to recommit and get moving again...

    So what have i missed? What is new around here?! I've missed my STAC friends...

            Thanks, all! It is good to be back and almost one day down. It is amazing to me how easy it is to fall back into bad habits when things get tough in life. But it is indeed a great feeling to be back on track. It is a big relief, really.

            I weighed and measured myself this morning (i've learned that i am addicted to the scale but also that i do need to weigh in - if i don't i get off track - so this time i'm going to try to just weigh in once a week and stick to that.) I had maintained since November to May and then gained 15 pounds in May alone! (I think a good deal may be water weight as it is almost that time...) So we'll see how things go at the end of two weeks.

            Now on to catch up on all of the posts...

                Hi, Jenna

                I'm glad you're here. While I don't expect you to remember this, I just wanted to say that you were the first person who replied to my very first post in this forum back in August of 2006 when I was still on NutriSystem and contemplating chunking that to return to Atkins. You told me to listen to my heart, which I eventually did to restart on Feb 25th of this year. (actually lost NO weight on NutriSystem when it was all said and done and have lost 27 of my regained 32 pounds so far on Atkins)

                You are going to do great. See you around!

                P.S. Love the quote in your siggie!
