    I guess I belong here now.......

    I am very disappointed in myself. Having been a member, a moderator and also an admin of this board, I feel terrible that I have let myself get back into dodgy habits.

    I have been back eating Atkins way since Monday (6 days ago) and have so far been fairly good. Have had a couple of small slips, but really do have to get back into this. I have gained weight. (around 30lbs) since my lowest and really do need to do something about it.

    This is why I have chosen to come back here.

    I just hope I can be accepted back, and that I can again re-find my motivation to start shrinking again.

    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

    no time like the present, I am off to the gym for the first time this year! (that sounds terrible). Will use the stationary bike for 30 minutes and do some crunches. Seems about right for a first visit back

      LOL! Who on this list doesn't know what it's like to fall of the wagon and need to get back on again? I'm sure you don't need to worry about acceptance here.

            We've all been there. know myself that when I start to slip I stop visiting the board--maybe it is guilt since so many here are truer to the WOE than I am-- and that helps seal my fate. The good thing is the board is here for when you are ready to start again. Welcome back. Keep at it and keep posting. You will be fine.

             It's not about the results. Its about the process.

              Welcome back Richt!

              Maintaining any amount of weight loss is a very tough journey and sometimes slip ups happen. You've done the hardest (yet best) part which is coming back.

              All the best losing those pounds!

                Most people belong here but most of those people will never admit it. Welcome back! I don't know you but judging by your posts and past experience, you have much to offer here. So, slide back in and we'll pick your brain!!

                  Rich, You are obviously a tremendous source of knowledge and a wealth of experience. Everyone here will benefit from your reappearance. I'm sure, just like every other STACer here you have come back even wiser than when you left. Plus, it's good to have another token male in the club.

                    Welcome back. Many of us in the second time around club are really on our 4th or 5th time around. The important thing is that you are ready to regain control of your health and you already know what to do. Best of luck!

                              I'm sorry it took a 30-pound weight gain to get you back on here, but I sure was glad to see you posting today.

                              I stayed away for about two months, and reverted to some very bad ways. The things I did to stay on track for over three years crumbled and fell away in just a couple of weeks. It is so hard getting back in the groove of doing things that at one time were such an ingrained habit, I didn't think I would ever stop.

                              I never worried about being accepted back here at ADBB, though. We are family and always will be.
