Back for a second time through

[Frelled]

Hey everyone. I'm back at Atkins, after losing about 60 pounds on it between 2003-2004 (that's the pics in my signature). I kept the weight off for two years, but a stressful divorce in 2006-2007 led to me pretty much putting it all back on plus about 10 extra pounds. So, I'm back here for the great support I remember from last time!

Looking forward to great discussions and friendship like I experienced last time. I'm proof that it works, and that you have to keep working even after the weight is gone to keep looking good!

Hi Frelled

Looks like you did a great job previously! Stress can do that to you but congrats for coming back. I'm sure you will get back to where you want to be in no time. I just started on Monday, and am looking forward to meeting new people for the friendship and support as well.

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

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.

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 minimum is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin.

Check this page for answers to a lot of your questions: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html. Make sure you are eating enough vegetables – Atkins isn’t just meat and cheese – vegetables are a huge part of your daily menu and is where most of your carbs should be coming from.
