    Hi~backslider here for support and re-losing!

    Hi everyone! I'm not a lc newbie but I am new to your board. I lost 6 sizes and 73 lbs over 7 years ago on Atkins and I need to relose a big chunk . I weighed in at 179.5 this morning. The scarey part is I'm only 27.5 lbs from fully regaining everything I lost. I reed to get back to 134.
    I'm here because I really need the accountability. I do great for the week and whammo here come the junk. I really need to change.
    I have pcos and dm2 so health should be priority.
    I'd sure love your support. I look forward to meeting you all.

    Michelle

      Thank you. Sadly no new loss only 27.5 that I haven't fully gained back in the last few years. However I am grateful I haven't had a full regain!
      I know this board will help alot! I'll check out the pcos board.
      Wow your pics are amazing! WTG!!!

        Hi Michelle and welcome to the board. I joined 5 days ago and the support here is phenomenal. An example-yesterday I posted here and asked if anyone would walk with me. At first it seemed dumb to ask, but in reality, i was pretty nervous about the whole walking thing because Im so heavy now, I get short of breath easily. Within 5 minutes, my first response came in. One of the members here (Brady) stated he would wait until 9am to do his walk so that we could walk together. From there, it just snowballed. When I went to do my walk, I felt happy and motivated to do well. Anyway, I just wanted to say welcome and that everyone here is supportive beyond belief.
