    Hi, I'm new but old...

    Hello everyone, I used to be a member of this board about 4 years ago. I don't even remember my old username! I was on a quest to finally take charge of my weight, and I lost 35 lbs at that time through the Atkins Diet. I had a lot more to lose than that, but we (husband and I) were also going through the fertility process to make a baby, and after years of trying, we succeeded! I stopped Atkins way of eating while pregnant, and never returned. [img]images/smilies/frown.gif[/img]

    Yadda yadda, here I am 4 years later and I'm as determined as ever to get my life back! Why was I putting this off? I'm on week two of the induction phase, and I've lost 6 lbs so far.

    By the way, we're trying for baby #2, have been for 8months now. But this time i won't quit, I'll just go into the maintenance phase if I get pregnant! *crosses fingers* [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
