    So excited to find this forum! (Oh, and HI!)

    Hi everybody,

    My name is Cindy and I'm so excited to have found this forum!

    This is my second time going on the Atkins diet. The first time, I lost over 60 pounds and felt great. But time marched on, I stopped paying attention to what I was eating, and then I was blessed with a baby (a bit later than most, I think).

    Well, my 'baby' is nearing 3 years old and I am heavier than I have EVER been. Honestly, I'm scared I may not be around to see her grow up if I don't get it together, so here I am. It's time. It's past time.

    I (and my DH) started on January 3rd. We're both in induction. So far, I've lost 2 pounds.

    I'm looking forward to reading through all the great information here, meeting everybody and making this a way of life!

        Thanks, you guys!

        I wouldn't exactly say I know what I'm doing LOL, but I'm definitely wearing out the pages of my book.

        I had to chuckle. It's been quite awhile since the first time I was on Atkins. I was afraid maybe my information was out of date, since it's been so long and the latest book I have is DANDR 2002.

        Imagine how thrilled I was after reading through here that this book is the one everybody here uses - yippee!! So now I feel like I'm way ahead of the game. LOL

                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.

                Just remember: drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure water daily, exercise and take a non-iron vitamin daily. There are so any different forums here there is something for just about everyone. 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. Also many people start a journal to keep track of themselves. It’s also a great place to meet new people http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/journal-chats/.

                Check Linda's recipe site - it will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/menus.html. If you need anything we’re here to help you!! Good luck.

                  Now see, I knew this was a fantastic board! I'm already getting great advice and support! You guys rock.

                  I'll admit the water is maybe one of the biggest challenges I have. (I don't really like water, to be honest.) But I'm working on it. And I will definitely check out the recipes here and on the other site.

                  Thank you guys so much! I'm slowly getting familiar with the layout and all the goodies here as time permits - in between chasing the little one around, etc. Maybe after I lose a little of this weight, I won't just be chasing her...I might actually catch her every once in awhile! LOL
