New to the forum, but back on the wagon with Atkins

[sexywannabe]

Hi all. I am so glad to have found this forum. I wish I had it the first time I went on Atkins. The first time I was on it about a month and lost 20 pounds. Then I went off of it thinking I could do low fat, well, I gained it all back. Then I have been off and on a few times, never going past a week because I felt so terrible at first even though I know I was going through sugar withdrawls. Then I became pregnant, and just let myself go. Now I am paying for it.

I started out at 214, and am now 208. My goal weight is 140, but will go to 130 if I am able. I think I will be able to do it now that there is all of this support with before & after pictures and great recipes. I look foward to getting to know you guys, and appreciate any tips and advice you have.

Hi there! Welcome to ha I'm happy you have yourself back on track.
You are so fortunate to have found this board. Get yourself ready for fantastic results on this WOL. Your going to do wonderfully.

Congratulations on losing 6 lb's already! That's great. We have a Member that used to compare lost lb's, to sticks of butter. So you have lost the equivelant of 24 sticks of butter!!! Gone forever!! YAY!!

Keep up the good work. And thanks for sharing a bit about yourself.
I'll look forward to watching your progress.

Hugs,Tammy
