Second time's a charm???

[Wanna_be_a_hot_mama]

It's been more than a year since I've been "off the wagon". I have still managed to lose a significant amount of weight. I'm stuck at 233 lbs........although I was down to 218.

So - I'm back.

I want lost about 70 more pounds. I've lost 47 in one year - but I haven't tried as hard as I should have been and I probably could have lost double that amount.

But here I am......back on the road again towards weight loss. My goal is to weigh 140 before I move to sunny California.

Wish me luck and it's good to be back.

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

Regardless of what you did before, or what you read other people are doing, 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. Drink a minimum og 64 ounces of pure water daily, exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin – these are mandatory when following Atkins.

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.

The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out!
