I'm trying this again. I lost 100 lbs back in '04 but slowly gained it all back once I quit following the program. I weighed my self this past weekend and was at my heaviest weight ever at 373 lbs. I started again on Monday. So far, so good.

Re: Trying this again!
Welcome back to Atkins. Now you know--it isn't a program that you quit. It is a lifestyle choice that will always require monitoring. Like any other permanent condition, a propensity for weight gain on carbs isn't something on which (sadly) any of us can turn our backs. It will work again although you may see your body respond differently this time. We have a Second Time Around Club in our support section as well as a Century Club that deals with those wishing to lose 100 pounds or more. There are also exercise challenges and lots of other support areas to explore. Wishing you success this time around!JILL

It's not about the results. Its about the process.

Re: Trying this again!
Welcome back --
Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water (nothing added), exercise starting today and take a multi-vitamin. If you haven't already, read the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR).
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 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html) - eat enough vegetables - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily. Many of us use www.Fitday.com to track our food so we know what our carb totals are for the day. It's important you know what you are eating and how many carbs you are taking in each day.

Re: Trying this again!
Welcome back! As Nyna metioned, you did it once so you can do it again.
You know what it takes, and you know that following the rules will help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Stay on track, and don't forget that there are many Atkineers on the bulletin board to help and motivate you.
