NEW...again.

[Texas Gal]

Hey yall, I am not new to this way of life...but here I am again. I lost 100 lbs low carbin' it, and then lived that way for 6 years. Life was GRAND! Then I remarried, and gained 70 lbs back. It's now been 5 years and I can't lose an ounce! I'm stuck at 230. If I eat carbs, it's up, if I don't, it stays at 230.

Is there anyone else out there in the same boat? I've heard it doesn't work the second time around. I'm 50...which doesn't help. I want to hear some good news! Smiles to All! tg

Re: NEW...again.

I feel your pain, Texas! When I was in my mid-40s I married a baker and ballooned faster than self-rising bread! HA! Ain't love grand?! Heh heh.

Don't know about "the second time around" with Atkins, though; this was my first go at it. I've heard that before, though. Anyone?

BUT, you do know from prior experience that Atkins works ... and apparently, it worked very well for you! I saw you over on the 50+ thread and thought Sweet Strudel made great points about the "mature metabolism" thing.

Anyway, welcome back to this WOE! Watch the carbs, drink lots of water, exercise regularly, check in here often (like, daily!) ... well, you know the drill

Hello! This is my third time on Atkins (first time got pregnant, second time Dad taken critically ill) and I have lost slightly more weight this time. I am 100% committed this time.. much more than before... and that helps! Good luck x

Yea! Thanks gals! I appreciate the support, and Lord knows I need it! I better go pour myself some water.

By the way, doodette, love the wings! Great pic! TX
