Hello one and all - back for thinning out....

[thinagainkaren]

Hello everyone - just saying hello from Wales.

Second Atkins stint in 7 years - maintained the weight loss and lifestyle for 4-5 years last time - complete change of life has resulted in weight gain.

Time to address this before it gets out of hand - so started induction today - positive feeling, I know this works - just need to apply myself long term like before.

A little older than last time - think my metabolism is slowing anyway - time will tell!!

Congratulations on realizing that it was time to get back to Atkins before gaining even more weight. You did it once, so you can definitely do it again. You'll do great...again.

7 years that is wonderful. Good luck on your second round. Are you doing the 2002 version?
Love your status. We need a fighting spirit for this journey.

Thanks for your support guys - yes Liv, 2002 version. Glad of the forum - they really do help - recent smoking quitter with help of forum, they keep you focussed and the support is just amazing!

I'm having a measuring moment today and before photos - its a good motiviator to se ANY change in size especially when the scales aren't moving!

Hi Karen and welcome! You are probably right about slowing metabolism (het to be the bearer of bad news) but the good news is that this way of eating still works, even if it takes a little longer.
