    I'm back and not proud!

    I didn't gain it all back.....but I gained alot of it back!!

    Oh the dangers of emotional eating.....between a health scare and a painful break up I put back all but 43 lbs of what I lost...it only took 5 months to pack it on again!

    I refuse to let it continue so started induction today.
    I changed my poundage ticker back (I was down to 243) but I'm leaving my picture there so I can remind myself how much better I looked and felt 5 months ago!!!

            Wow. What a difference the loss of weight made. Good for you that you did it before because you KNOW you can do it again. I'm sorry you went through tough times and I know how easy falling into that pit can be. You're obviously stronger and ready to take control back, so do it with gusto.

            And it's sick how fast the weight comes back when you go back to old, bad ways. It takes so long to drop the weight then blam-o, it's back before you realize how bad it is.

              Hello Greg,
              I'm so glad to see you back here my friend. Sorry to hear about your painful breakup. It's time to put all that behind you and take care of you.
              It is incredible how quickly it comes back on. I know from personal experience myself. The good thing about Atkins is that you can get yourself turned around and the weight comes off just as quickly as it came on.
              WELCOME BACK to the healthiest WOE there is. You're with friends here, and we'll support you all the way!
              One day at a time. Keep moving forward and you'll get your well being feeling and positive outlook back.
              What's important is you're here and holding yourself accountable.
              Kudo's!!!

                      Welcome back!! I'm very sorry to hear of your breakup. Good for you knowing enough was enough and coming back to lose what was regained. I'm back too, after gaining back all but about 10lbs of my 40lb loss, so I understand feeling sick about letting it happen.

                        Welcome back Greg. Sorry about your break-up, but life and challenges happen all the time. It's how we deal with it that's important. You have taken a positive approach by coming back here. We're all in the same boat in that respect, and will help eachother through the rough times. You've done it before, and you will do it again!

                          Welcome back. I have been away too, but am not going to beat myself up about it. Events can happen that make us stray for a while. So your not on your your own. Big hugs and well done for coming back.
