    Back Again

    Hello Everyone!

    I started Atkins 10 years ago when a friend introduced me to it. It was if I had found the one thing that really worked for me and I loved it. My initial weight was 228 and I went down to 135 - only 12 pounds from my goal of 123. Since then I have managed to keep most of the weight off and now weigh 150. I feel like I am starting to slide in a direction that I promised myself I would never go again. Over the past year I have started and stopped what seems like 20 times! I did not have the large drop that I did the first time and get discouraged and give up. TODAY I want to start over - Any advice to help me get past that point, which is usually a week, would be a big help. Glad to be back

      Thanks Sandy - One day at a time really does work. When I first did it that was my motto, I never really thought about it. I just followed the program and before I knew it the weight was just dropping off. I need to get back to that mind set - thanks for the encouragement.

        Hey there. It does seem to go off slower 2nd time round. But .. the point is ... it does go off. You have my sympathies. I'm kinda stuck at the moment and trying to find a way around it. But I'm determined to succeed and I hope that you find your inner determination too. This board is great for motivation. I honestly think I would probably have quit a week ago if it wasn't for all the support. Lotsa luv to you.
        Start weight: 103.6 kg (227.92 lbs)
        Goal weight: 80 kg (176 lbs)
        Now weighing in at ...... 95.6kg (210.32)
        Total loss = 8 kg (17.6 lbs)

          Hiya Oh2b123 and welcome back to Atkins!

          You've done it before so you can certainly do it again! But... seems that for many it is a little slower the second time around. The weight will go though, with a little perseverence. Think direction rather than speed.

          You can do this!
          Before and after:

          Start 10 Jan 2005. Maintenance since Aug. 2005.

            Welcome back Oh2b123, You've done a great job keeping the weight off. You know what to do. Try to focus on how this woe makes you feel rather than focus on the scale. Take those baby steps, they'll soon be leaps and bounds. Good to see you here. Post often and let us know how you're doing.
