    Howdy ya'll

    ....This is my second time on atkins....a few years ago I lost 185 pounds in 10 months...I was also jogging about 7 miles every other day and working out with weights each day...anyhow I went from a size 26/28 to an 8....still had body size distortion from always feeling and being overweight...I would kill to be an 8 again...I have regained from the past few years of yo yo and an eating disorder...now I have made the choice to re try atkins...on my 3rd day of induction and have been in ketosis since yesterday...down 7 pounds from last weigh in 6 days ago...I am sad I am back where I am but accepting this and moving forward...have been doing well as far no binging and went off caffeine for the first time in a looooooong time...have been reading it is bad for those with arthritis in which I have, osteoarthritis in knees...recent surgery on one of them so have to take it easy...all that running and carrying extra weight took its toll. I am looking forward to a continued weight loss...making new friends and this new journey ahead of me!

      Welcome... It's nice to make your acquaintance.. We're all in the same boat .. so we understand and will help in any way we can. I slid off the wagon last week and if I hadn't had the nice people here I'd have let it be a long painful slide... Instead I came back here and am back on track..

      So if you get down and are tempted to let go... remember we're all here to throw you a rope!!!

            Welcome to ADBB Griffs Goddess, glad you found us and decided to come back. This is my second time around too, although I never stuck it out for any great length of time, unlike yourself. I know this WOE works though and I am sticking with it this time around.
