    I fell off the wagon, but now I am back and heading to Hawaii in 38 days!

    So I never thought I would be saying this, but I am re-starting and on my way again. I did the atkins diet in 2007 and lost 50+ lbs and now I have also gained all of it back! I jumped on the scale the other day and almost say the big scary 200... almost 199. It was a turning point and I do not want to gain anymore weight back. I look back and think I worked to hard and too long the first time to go all the way back to ground zero! I have tried to get back on the wagon a couple of times however, I could not find the motivation or support. I am glad that I found this site to help me out and keep me accountable. Also I just found out that I am going to Hawaii for the first time in September! I want to be able to wear a bathingsuit and look decent and not miss out on snorkling because I am embrassed...

    I am ready to start again! and not look back!

        Welcome back and congratulations on making the decision to become healthy...way to go!!!!

        This board is an amazing place. Come here lots, read as many posts as you can (they're incredibly helpful) and post as much as you like.

        Be sure you eat everything you're suppose to and make sure you complete a clean Induction, drink lots of water and be sure to fit some form of exercise into your daily routine...they all go hand in hand.

        I look forward to hearing your updates!

        It's good to meet you...keep in touch.

          Wow, a CR250, pretty impressive, I've never had the guts to ride a dirtbike. I keep my motorcycles on pavement.

          I did race SnoX (motox only with snowmobiles) back in highschool though and a Banshee during the summers.

                Welcome back!!!

                Man, i feel like I was reading my own story there, well except for the Hawaii part.. JEALOUS! lol I too started in the 190s and got to 150 and packed it all back on. Restarted at 198 b/c I just could NOT see 200 on the scale. We can do this and you are going to look smoking in Hawaii!!!

                  Your story sounds just like mine only I was fast approaching 300. This seems to be the only diet that works for me. I've been able to lose over 50 lbs in less than 4 months twice before. My goal this time is 80 lbs in 6 months. After 11 weeks I am half way there. Good luck on your quest.

                  I gather you ride motorcycles. What bike(s) do you ride?
