    Here we go (again)

    Hello Everyone.
    This is my second time on Atkins - did it in 2005 and lost nearly 40 pounds. I have now gained it all back plus a little. I started induction two weeks ago but slipped on this past Saturday night. Although before that I had lost about 7 pounds and have not gained anything back. I am finding it difficult to add exercise to my daily routine because I work full time and I am a full time student. I am gradually taking my dog for longer walks though and even jogging a little.
    I just wanted to say hi to everyone but I just don't have the nerve to include my starting weight just yet. Mostly because I don't want to see it in writing.
    I read the boards a lot and have gotten some great tips from everyone. I will keep posting with my progress. Good luck to everyone!!

        Hi Cosmic!

        I'm glad you found this board - I'm sure that if you are active here you'll find it very helpful to sticking to the plan. We need all the support we can get!

        I lost about 40 pounds on Atkins before too - and I too gained it all back. And, again, I TOO am starting back in again. I have three weeks under my belt now and am feeling great - hopefully this time around I'm a little smarter than I was before! From my previous lapse, I've learned more about what my triggers and pitfalls are, and I plan to bare all on this site so the friends here can help support me so that I make better decisions this time!

        Don't worry about not posting your starting weight - YOU know what it is. BUT - we don't know you in real life so try not to feel too awkward about it! Please use the site as a tool - post your weight, post your struggles & successes, etc. - make it work for you!
