  • Howdey Everyone!

    Hello everyone!

    This is not my first time with ADBB, but I just thought I would post anyways.

    Wow how the board has changed!! (I was so lost) but love the improvements.

    Ok anywho.. This is my 3rd time around with Atkins. (I know, I know)

    Last time I went form 300lb down to 235lbs and I Crashed! But I cannot blame

    Anyone but myself. I guess the first time I cheated I thought I could handle going

    Off my diet for one day but it is shocking how easy it is to get back into your old

    Routine and before I new it I had put back on that 65lbs plus 20.

    I am more determined then ever to stick to this diet and reach my goal!!

    It is so great that this board is here for support.

    Anyways Thanks for reading!

        Welcome back!!! It's so great to see you get back up on the horse and go forward! Don't beat yourself up over your mistakes, I bet you've certainly learned from them now, right?

        I was very much like you. This is also my third time, except I never stuck with it as long as you did before. The most I lost was 30 pounds, which I did each time before thinking (like you) that I could just take ONE DAY off, or ONE WEEKEND off, and then go right back to eating correctly. MAN I sure do regret those wasted years!!! If I'd stayed with the program the first time around I would've been at goal for a LONG TIME by now!

        You can definitely do this! Knowing how much success you had with it before should be a huge motivator!

        Just know we're all here to cheer you on, to help you out if you need it, and we can't wait to applaud your success. GOOD LUCK!

        I did Extended Induction from 1/3 to 5/9 (2006) and lost 55 pounds, so I know I can do it again!
