Re-introducing my self (2 years gone)

[Mary-chan]

Well after trying and failing to get back on atkins many many times the past few years, I seem to have finally got back on the wagon for good, and I'm hoping to stay there!! The first time I was on atkins I lost 85 pounds, and this board was really a big part of my success that time! I need to succeed again, and keep all of the weight off this time, and so I am going to be here to stay! I've been lurking and reading the threads here the past few weeks and remembering why this board was so great to begin with, but it felt weird to just start posting again, so I wanted to re-introduce myself! I've been on extended induction since the beginning of December and have lost 4.5 pounds so far, hopefully the first of many. I look forward to getting to know everyone and hopefully contributing to many threads. Thanks for reading!

Welcome back, it's great to meet you!

Congratulations on making the decision and commitment to eat well again and improve your health....that is a big step. Stick to doing everything your suppose to (Clean Induction, drink lots of water, take your vitamins and exercise) and you're going to be reaping the benefits in a very short period of time again.

I look forward to reading your posts!

All the best!

Thanks! Welcome back to you as well! And trust me - I gained and gained in my offtime, unfortunately! Just lost here and there along the way, but never stuck to one thing for too long so it was never too consistent. This time I am promising myself it is for keeps though! I'm going to stick to the book and go through OWL (something I didn't get to do last time). We'll both keep it off this time!

It is nice to be back - I forgot how nice and welcoming everyone here is!
