Re: First Day of Atkins/Starting Over
Hi 'rescueme'
Welcome to the board. You'll get encouragement here - as well as good advice. I see that you said you'll update in a month - I hope you'll be checking back on the board more often than that though, as the people here are very supportive, and I for one, would like to know how you are doing.

Re: First Day of Atkins/Starting Over
Hi and welcome back. I too just restarted yesterday and I already can feel the difference in my body. I was embarrassed to even say I had restarted again but I realize there is nothing to be ashamed of. This is a lifestyle change and it takes time to adjust. We fall down, BUT WE GET UP AND KEEP STEPPING
I can't wait to see the progress pictures. Bless you.

Re: First Day of Atkins/Starting Over
Thanks everyone I feel more inspired to replace these pictures I posted with improvements. So this weekend went great. Losing weight is only one of my goals, but more than that I want to get off the blood pressure meds. Thanks for all of the kind words because I know those pictures are just horrible. I'm hurt that I look like that. But life goes on and I'm looking to get better.
