If at first you don't succeed, which I didn't, i'll try again!

[ccubedr6]

Hey all,
Let me reintroduce myself- My name is Chad and I am a 32/m from Michigan. A few months back I started atkins for about a little over a month. I went from 220 to 205, but then I stopped. I am now back to 217 and I desperately need to restart this up again. I am using today, July 5th as my new start date. My wife and I plan on starting a family soon and I want to lose weight so I have energy to keep up with little ones. Have any of you stopped, then started again, but this time succeeded in your goal? I look to you for inspiration.

Here we go again...Round 2 starts today!!

Hey there,

Welcome to the board! You have a great goal to get healthy for

Lots of us have started again after a break - long or small. Head over the the second time around club: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...splay.php?f=82 where second (or 3rd, 4th, etc) hang out.

Best of luck with this WOL.

Welcome to ADBB chad. You will find many of us in the same boat as you. The key is to stay supported. I hope we can do that for you

Greeting Chad and welcome aboard. Yup ... a LOT of us made the mistake you made hon - you are not alone. You did it once, you can do it again. Good to have you with us.

Welcome, Chad. This board will give you inspiration, and good advice too.

Your goal is very similar to mine. I am also 5'9", started at 222, and have 170 as my goal weight. But thanks to reading this board's success stories, I'm going to reach my goal, and I know you can too.

Thanks everyone for your support. Everything was working out great for me. I wish I would of stuck to it, but for some reason I went off the deep end. I got caught up in Dairy Queen Blizzards, and McDonalds McFlurries, way too often. I started induction today. I'll try to get a current picture of myself up here, albeit an unflattering one. I think if I keep looking at myself in my current state, it will force me to stay on track. I hate feeling like I have bigger boobs than my wife! LOL! Look forward to talking to all of you again. I will make it a point to visit here daily.

-Eno, if its any consolation, I got down to 188 once when I was on Medical Weight Loss Clinic's plan. I know I got down before, so I know I can do it again. This time I am going to lose more! How about we see who can get in the 180's the quickest?

Hi and welcome, Chad!

I hear ya on those Blizzards! Those are the work of an incredibly evil genius, aren't they?

Your boob remark made me snort with laughter. Sorry, but it was funny.
