happy to start again

[motherofone]

I tried atkins a year ago and lost 20lbs. I felt wonderful. But I soon fell into bad habits again. This time I have to succeed or I will be miserable all my life. I have been sick a lot lately and I know it is because of my weight. I am 5'-9" and I weigh 235. I have been diagnosed with an acid reflux disorder and I have a severe hurniated disc. I joined Curves a month ago and I love it. I don't know if any one else goes to Curves. Anyway I am just rambling.

Hello motherofone!

Dont ya just hate those old habits?!

Welcome back to Atkins! Check out the "Second Time Around" forum. There are lots of us there on our second (or more) time around. You can ramble all ya want!

I used to go to Curves and plan on returning soon. I loved it and do miss it.

Come and help us all to succeed! We dont want to me miserable either!

Re: happy to start again

Welcome back!
You know this WOL works because you have had success in the past. I am so happy you have come back.
I can tell by reading your post that this time you are determined to eat this way for life, and not go back to old unhealthy ways of eating.
I can tell you that this WOE will help your reflux problem. I had the reflux problem before and now it is just a bad memory. The problem is gone for me .
Getting your weight back to normal will help you in so many ways. Heck, just being able to get up off the couch with ease is a big plus for me .
Welcome back and much success to you.
