need your help

[DAWNIMMEL]

HI Guys, I have been on atkins since August of 2004, I initially lost 30 lbs and was five pounds from my goal weight. Well, I have put back on 20 lbs. I am still within an acceptable weight for my size, but I don't feel good. I also have a hypothyroid which makes things a little more difficult. I know why I put on the weight, too much diet soda and peanuts, not enough water. When I worked from home I drank more than a gallon of water a day. Now it seems all I drink is diet soda. So starting today, I am going back on induction, loosing the peanuts and diet soda and going back to the basics. I just need some support. My husband used to do atkins with me, now he is back to all his old eating habits and he regained all his weight too. I will be using fitday everyday to monitor my progress and I am also going to re-read my book. Any advise I would love to hear it. But I am getting rid of the PEANUTS!!! Have a good holiday everyone.............Dawn

Welcome back Dawn. Sounds like you've already planned how to get back on plan. When I feel frustrated with my WOE, I always re-read my DANDR Make sure you add some exercise to your induction to keep you motivated. Best wishes!!

Thanks Becky, I have walk away the pounds with Leslie Sansone, I gave up my membership to CURVES. I didn't like it there, I would rather go to a regular gym. I will start that ASAP....Dawn
