  • It's Good To Be Back!

    My name is Janice and I have returned to this wonderful Board to re-start Atkins. I need the encouragement of old and new friends. Back in 2005 I was a moderator and very involved on the Board. I wandered away and bad habits came back into my life. I re-gained the weight I had lost and now I'm very ashamed to say that I, once again, weigh over 200 lbs. I'm actually the heaviest I've been in my life. I'll be 59 years old next month and I want very badly to regain control of my life. I know what to do but I'm going to need encouragement and support from all my friends on this Board. I'll probably be hanging around the Support Forums including 50+ and Second Time Around. They fit me well!! lol I notice that a couple of my old postings are still here. I need to change my picture but for now I'm going to leave it because it gives me hope that I CAN do this and I CAN lose this weight again and be healthier and happier.
    Thanks to Tom for keeping this Board running. It looks great and I'm thrilled to be back.
    Re-started: 2/23/09
    Starting: 215

      Janice! Welcome back, girl!! I've seen your name around the board before, and it's nice to have you home again.

      You know the drill, and I'm more than sure that you'll get the weight off. Best wishes to you.

                  Welcome back Janice! Don't let the fact that you've slipped up haunt you anymore because it has happened to all of us at one time or another. You are now among friends and we understand where you're coming from. I know you will soon be back where you want to be. Welcome home!
