    New to the forums

    Hi everyone.
    I'm new to these forums, but not to Atkins.
    I did it 5 years ago and lost 40 lbs.
    I was down to 130lbs, and was pretty tiny! I gained about 20 lbs a year later and looked actually really good at 150lbs.
    After having my son I was up to 210! Last March I started atkins and managed to lose 40lbs and was down to 170 and looked pretty decent.
    After my mat leave was done in September I started working at Denny's, and well, my willpower wasn't too great.
    I managed to gain back 30 of those 40 lbs I lost last year.
    I started Atkins again January 7th. I'm down 20lbs in those 6 weeks! yay.
    I'm getting married May 31, so I'm really trying super hard to lose as much weight as I can.
    I have to lose 10lbs to fit into my dress and would lose to lose another 10-15 lbs on top of that by then.
    But we shall see, wis me luck everyone

    Great to have you on the board, you know this WOE works so you will do fantastic.

    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.
