    Not sure why I ever stopped...

    but I'm back, to the Atkins WOE if not the board...

    I successfully maintained my goal weight (or close to it) for over 4 years. I felt good eating this way, and I ate far healthier than I did before or since. So I'm back to it. I've gained back almost all of my initial loss. I originally went from 252 to 192. I gained back about 15lbs. on purpose and maintained for a while. I am now at 239... and have to buy new pants and shirts again. I don't really care about the weight... I just want to feel good and fit into my clothes.

    So, I'm here again... I'm here if anyone needs anything, and hopefully I can lean on you guys as you've always come through for me in the past. Happy New Year!

    Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

    Good for you getting back on plan! This is a great place to be and you'll find all the support you want or need.

    Don't forget to drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water daily, exercise and take a non-iron vitamin daily. Since you've done Atkins before you may enjoy the STAC (second time around club), they have a daily sign in that people enjoy Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet.

    Good luck to you!

      Welcome back Higgies, and I wonder the same thing also, kinna fell off plan for awhile.

      Glad to see you back, you were a great inspiration to so many folks, having you back will be a coo for the board.

            Welcome back Higgies, I am in the same boat as you, returning after 2 years but with full weight gain. I have started today 04/01/2010 so maybe we can compare notes as we go along and hopefully we can offer along with the other members the support and tips that could be the difference.
            Having read many threads on this brilliant site i am sure we can both succeed.
            Good luck and Regards/
