Atkins isn't about "luck". It's about planning and changing your way of eating for life.

Are you planning to follow Atkins for life or are you only looking to lose weight... again?

any tips

Read the book, Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002).

tricks on how to jumpstart this plan ???

No need to jump start anything. Just start... and follow Induction correctly.

Hi and welcome back to Atkins --

Good for you getting back on plan! Get back on plan and follow it correctly - make sure to go through the rungs slowly so you know the foods which bother weight loss and the ones you can eat easily. Once you get to your goal and are on maintenance stick with the plan for a lifetime -- that way you won't be back in a few months starting over again.

I hope you have the 2002 DANDR (Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution) book it's the edition we follow on this site. Exercise, take a non-iron vitamin and drink a minimum of 64 ounces of pure. 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.

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/.

If you need anything we’re here to help you!! Good luck.
