I'm back ADBB!

[Diamond Gorrila]

Well, this will be my second attemp at trying to reach my ultimate weight loss goals. The first time i joined ADBB i lost about 70lbs and was flying high. That was about a year ago. It took me about 3 months to lose it. I was working out for 2 hours a day and was a man on a mission. I have since gained back 30lbs of the 70lbs I had lost so no it's time for me to get back on the Atkins wagon. I have built some good muscle over the last 2 years so hopefully I'll be able to maintain all my muscle gains and strip off this ugly tire of fat I have gained back. I look forward to sharing what I have learned on my first trip and also learning new things from others on this Atkins journey. HAPPY LOW CARBING!!!

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

Good to have you back!! Regardless of what you did before, or what people are doing now, your body is different than anyone so it’s best not to compare - just follow the plan the way it's written. Look around and find what interests you and join in. Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support. Go through the 2 week induction and start up the OWL rungs .... that way you'll know what you can eat and what foods may bother you. It's the best way to be able to keep the pounds off -- if you stay on induction too long you never have the time to find those problem foods.

I hope you already have the 2002 DANDR book and have read it, it is the edition we follow on this site. If not it's worth a few dollars to purchase. Get enough pure water in daily (64oz is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin.

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out! Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check the acceptable food list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)(What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html) - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily.

Welcome back Diamond. Good for you for stopping this runaway train now! It seems like everyone gains back a bit then realizes they have to be vigiliant ALL the time. Hoping for you that this time is for good!
