New Year, New Me!

[KBP48183]

Hi Everyone!

Happy New Year I'm not new to the Atkins WOL, this is my second time around. The first time I lost over 60 pounds and one cheat led to another, soon all the weight flew back on within 4 months.

I was originally going to start January 2nd but decided not to put it off another day so tomorrow it is! This time one major thing I plan on doing along with staying on track is drinking a LOT of water. I'm lucky if I can get even one glass in a day.

Hope to meet all of you

Welcome!

Water is critical.

If you don't drink water, what do you drink?

Re: New Year, New Me!

Thanks!

I drink a LOT of coffee and tea, I know it's definately not good for me. Cutting back to one cup of coffee a day is going to be difficult for me but it's something I have to do.

I'm going to try and drink a gallon of water a day =)

Remember the rule of Induction ... 64 ounces MINIMUM.

And nothing other than water counts as water.

Many find success with drinking 1/2 their current weight in ounces of water.

Welcome back! It sounds like you did really well the first time around, so I'm sure you can do it again, and keep it off this time!

I look forward to seeing your progress

Welcome to the board!

There is a water challenge that you might want to join because it helps to keep you focused on getting enough water everyday.
