Good luck with it. If I may ask why is it that you keep straying off, alot of people may have the same problem and be able to help.

Hi thanks for wishing me good luck.I think the reason I have strayed in the past is because lack of will power, all my friends just dont care what they eat its hard to go out with everyone and do the right thing.Lame reason but its the truth.I believe this time I strayed because I was having extreme anxieties and just didnt care finally got help from my doctor was put on lexipro and it has really helped.Now I have more energy and am motivated and I am starting to care about the way I look again.

Good for you, Cindy

Sometimes lifes stresses bite us in the butt. It's what we do to turn it around that counts. You're not letting it continue to keep you down. I'm not either. Right behind ya!

Welcome back.

Cindy,
Glad to have you back. I think you hit on the secret of success in any weight loss plan. It has to be a LIFE LONG COMMITTMENT, not a diet that you go on and off of. You said you gained 11 pounds when you went off of Atkins. I'm glad you found your way back before it turned into 20 or 30 pounds gained. It is very important for each of us to make sure we follow the ATKINS FOR LIFE plan....going to Owl, pre-maintenance and then maintenance. If we incorporate all the steps that Dr. Atkins devised for us, then we will maintain our weight loss. Good luck to you!!

Hey......come on over and join us at the Second Time Around forum! There's a ton of us doing this again, with a lot of willpower, commitment to each other (even when we are struggling with our commitment to the woe) and a lot of humor.

We'd love to have you!
