Hello, all. I'm new to this board, but have done Atkins in previous years, losing 40 pounds in 2002. Unfortunately, I fell way off the wagon and gained back to my original weight of 235. I'm a 34 year old insulin dependent diabetic on an insulin pump. My goals are to get back down to 190, improve my cholesterol, and increase my level of physical fitness. I've been on induction since the day after Christmas, with only one day of cheating due to low blood sugar.

Willpower has not been one of my strong points in the past, but I am committed to getting healthy for my kids. I look forward to getting to know everyone and particpating in the various forums and hopefully a bootcamp.

This time, hopefully it will be for the rest of your life!

I hope you get the health you want!

Re: Newbie

Thanks, Dave. It's been a challenge here in Germany, land of great beer and bread and schnitzel and pretzels and......

This time is for real though.

I'm in Kaiserlsautern with 30,000 other Americans. My wife works at Landstuhl as a medevac pilot, and I work for the Dept of Defense as an accountant. LOVE GERMANY (for the most part).
