Hi, I was on Atkins a long time ago, and did great, but did not stick with it, and gained back all of my weight plus 10 pounds. I am very ashamed, because I was almost at goal, and let myself get back to where I was. I have been wanting to comeback, but felt embarrassed, so I made a new screen name. I am motivated and willing to do what I need to in order to live a healthier life. I am tired of living this way.

Dont beat yourself up over it, just start from the beginning and I am sure you will do just fine. Keep chekcing the Second time around club, there are quite a few people that are traveling the same road.
Good luck!!

Re: I will do it this time.
SuzyQ - welcome back....what is important is that you have restarted your journey to being healthier and losing the weight you want to lose.....you can do it...you know that already so that's a given.....just remember that once we make life changes we must change the way we think, act, and react to practically everything......make giving up/in "a no option" for you!!!
Look forward to getting to know you!Hugs,
