Hi,
I thought i would join this community since we are on a common mission, to lose weight and keep it off. I first started Atkins in Feb 2006. I lost about 85 pounds in about 4 months and achieved my goal weight of 170 pounds. I changed jobs, and had some other issues going on in my life and started eating sugary junk again and gained back some of the weight, but not all of it. I began Atkins again in Aug 2007 and lost all of my extra weight again. Around this time i met my now 2nd wife, and we began eating out a lot and eating big meals at home and i started gaining the weight back again. I got married in july 2008. Around Feb of this year, i decided it was time to get serious and lose the weight, but this time it is different. After reading the Atkins books for years, it finally dawned on me that i could never go back to eating the sugary junk again, that sugar is the cause of my weight gain, the cause of the depression and no energy times i experienced during the day, especially at work. I cant believe i didnt realize all of this the first time, but i have resolved to eat right the rest of my life, to leave the unhealthy junk behind and concentrate on eating the Healthy foods that God provided for Mankind to eat, without the additives and processing that goes into so much of our food today! Thanks for having me here, i look forward to using the resources of this forum to help me in my weight loss. So far i have lost 22.5 pounds in a month!
