    Sad to say, I am back again

    Hi Folks!

    Several years ago, I changed my lifestyle with Atkins and went from a size 16 to a size 2. I lost over 80lbs with hard work and exercise and met my goal of 130lbs. I maintained for two years until I became pregnant. During my pregnancy, I gained signifigant weight and the day my son was born, I weighed in at 228lbs.

    I went back on Aktins the following week and withing six weeks, I dropped myself down to 160 lbs. Unfortunalty, the signifigant weight drop and just having a baby was tough on my body and caused my hair to fall out terribly and my nails to become extremely soft so I jumped up the ladder rather quickly.

    Then, in January of 2008, I MC and this was pretty tough on me and I gained 22 lbs back putting me at 182lbs. Even though I was physically ready to be back on Atkins, I was not mentally.

    Finally, two weeks ago I got my mind and body in the same place and got back on Aktins 100%. I just finished Induction and lost those 12lbs and enough inches to drop me down a full size in pants!

    My goal is to get my weight down to a healthy point, hopefully before I conceive again.

    Wish me lots of luck! I am ready to be thin again!

    Welcome back

    I'm glad you found your way back. It's not easy, but here you are and I think that's fantastic! It sounds like you've found your feet and are really ready to do what needs doing. The awesome part is that you already know what to do!

    Like I tell everyone else- I won't wish you luck - because luck doesn't have squat to do with this. I wish you success.

                    Welcome back! Success is just around the corner....hmmm...that sounds like a fortune cookie doesn't it?

                    As Jess says, you're back because it works! Given your past success, I would estimate you'll be reaching your goals in no time!

                      This board and its members are so refreshing! Thanks for all the kind words as I start up again. Last time, this board really keep me going when I had some low moments on the lifestyle change, so I really do look forward to receiving and giving advices as I move ahead.

                      When I look back, it seems like years ago I was struggling with my weight and I never thought I would be back in this position again. The pregnancy gave me the greatest gift ever but I never thought I would pack on almost 100lbs. I am glad that I have 3/4 of it gone but it's not to say it's been easy. But as my husband says, " if it was easy, the world would be thin".
