Hi everyone,
In January of 1999 I found and began the Atkins diet, and lost about 50lbs in 6 months. I never made it into maintenance, though... I slowly gained all of the weight back, and tried a number of other approaches to lose weight, none of which worked as well as Atkins. I'm really happy to be back. I'm on day 2 of Induction (not counting the previous 2 days of low carbing with alcohol), and so far so good, though definitely experiencing the predictable headaches and flu-ish feelings, so am drinking lots and lots of water.
I have decided to recommit to Atkins during one of the most stressful times of my life... I'm going through a separation/divorce, and am writing my dissertation for my PhD. In many ways, 2009 is a fresh beginning for me, and I'm excited to reclaim control of my health and well-being.

I would love to have an accountability buddy this time around... back in 1999 I participated in a different bulletin board that doesn't exist anymore, and I found that kept me on track. Would anyone like to buddy up with me?
Excited to be here!
Cheers,
Aurora

You've got your plate full, so to speak!! Sounds like you are truly motivated though. Have you checked out the "second time around" forum yet?
