    I'm Back!!

    Hi Everyone,

    Some of you may remember me from when I used to come here often. After abandoning the Atkins WOL and attempting other things to lose weight, I am back half a year later, disappointed to report that I have not had much success at all. I'm extremely disappointed in myself but I am determined to regain control of my diet, return to this WOL (the ONLY way that has ever worked for me) and get these pounds off! I have missed the relationships and support I received from the ADBB and I hope to rebuild some of those relationships and make new ones along the way. I will be starting induction tomorrow and plan to stay on induction as long as I need to in order to get a handle on my eating and self-control. I look forward to seeing everyone around the boards.

                        Liz, I've thought of you and wondered how you were. SO good to see you back!! I think your journal was closed, but you can ask Jimmie to reopen it, or start a new one, if you want.

                        It's wonderful you've come back here, where you know you can be successful. Just take it one day at time. I encourage you to seek out Oh2BeFit, aka Nicole. She started where you are, and has been really successful... down over 100 pounds now.

                        You CAN do this, Liz. Stick with it -- and stick with us!
