Intro...

[plsmachic]

I did introduce myself in a few other forums but this is probly the main one I should belong in I guess...

technically, this is my third time around...

but yeah, I did Atkins in 2003 for a yearish going from 186 to 155 and kept it off for 6 months even though I wasn't really watching my carbs for those 6 months... and then it came flying back on...

I have classified myself as a carb addict. If I see something carb-laden I want to put it in my mouth... bread, cake, brownies, soup... anything... I should say food addict...

But, I'm getting better... And, I have a feeling I'm not alone. With everyone's support I truly believe this supprt group is just what I was missing.

Third time's a charm right?

Welcome back and welcome to STAC! Make sure you check in for the morning roll call each day. I've found the morning STAC roll call to be very inspirational with words of wisdom and provoking thoughts each day.

Re: Intro...

Welcome -- I am new to this place too but not new to Atkins - I did it in 2004 and lost a ton, but found carbs are NOT my friend. It works !!

Look forward to getting to know you !!

Re: Intro...

PLS, a formal welcome to you...We're so glad to have you! Finallygettingitright, well finally,welcome to you too...
You guys have the same problems I found myself with, addiction and weight gain when I quit Atkins.... Weight gain because I just went right back to eating things I missed and loved. Learned my lesson....
STAC is full of people with great stories and BIG lessons! Hopefully we've learned to dust ourselves off and look at the problem more closely.

Re: Intro...

Glad to see you here, Plsmachic. You are in the right place. Here I have learned alot about myself and the reason why I did not stick with this way of life in the first place. We are all painfully aware of the ease of slipping away from this healthy lifestyle and I personally am hypersensitive about it. I do NOT want to do that again. Post in roll call often. You will have something to think about everyday that will motivate you. We are here to support and cheer one another. Welcome! (and a hearty welcome to you too, finallygettingitright!)
