    Hello Everyone!!!

    Hi all!!

    My name's Marisa and I'm from Glasgow in Scotland. I'm 22 years old and did Atkins 3 years ago and managed to lose 28 lbs. Since meeting my boyfriend (well, im now engaged), I've went from 8st 8lbs to 10 stone! (140 lbs) in the space of 15 months. I can't fit into any of my other clothes and my confidence has plummeted because of this. So, as it's New Year I'm gona get myself back in shape. I never usually post on message boards, as I have an irrational fear of it lol, however I have been a 'lurker' on this forum for a wee while and you all seem like a really supportive bunch, so here I am! lol

    Have a Happy 2008!

          Happy New Year Dreamof145!!

          Thanks for replying!! I've did atkins before, got the book etc..got all the recipes, I know all the principles et al, however the past year or so, I've been sittin on my *** eating takeaways and pizzas-as you do! lol However I've been a member on this site, without posting for about 5 months. I always say, 'I'll start Atkins tomorrow', however my will power just wasn't ever up to scratch. But as its new year and all that, I thought I'd take the plunge and get involved in this forum as it has to be the best forum/messageboard relating to atkins. You guys seem so positive!!

              Hi Marisa,

              Welcome to the board. This is a great place and we are happy you have come.

              What I know:
              1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
              2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
              3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
              4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.
