Unhappy Okay! I'm back! (from a long time ago!)

...head down....tail between legs....after coming here in Aug. 2003.....losing 35lbs, by Feb 2004....and then losing no more......getting discouraged....and gradually gaining everything back...*sigh*....and too embarrassed to show up here and let everyone know how "naughty" I'd been.

I'm going to start all over and keep with it this time.....because life is too short....and it's certainly not comfortable at 285, or whatever it is I weigh...I'm not really sure....

Thanks all, for listening to my tale of woe...*sigh*

Ginni

I finally logged back in to this site after being gone a long, long time (December 8, 2004) and saw your post! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. I stopped low carbing for no particular reason (it was the holidays, I was busy, yadda, yadda, yadda) in December and have managed to regain about 15=20 pounds. I decided I would not buy any new clothes for my new bigger size and I am getting really tired of wearing the same few outfits and trying to make them look different. I'm sure everyone at work is really tired of seeing me in the same clothes, too. I am tired of looking at the cute clothes I bought last year when I lost weight and can't wear now. I am really, and most of all, tired of feeling heavy and out of control again.

I started out at 296, got down to 211, and I'm now back up to around 230. I refuse to regain any more. My sister and I made a pact to restart lowcarbing on June 1. I will start induction on Wednesday. Wish me luck.

Welcome back Gini!

I lost 70 pounds and still dropped off the low carb way of eating so it's not just frustration that sends us back to carbs. I know it's hard to re-start. I've been trying for over two months and finally think I've gotten back on track. I didn't check in often when I was being naughty but once I started more it did help.

You can do this!

ginni-welcome back. no need to feel bad here--many have been through the same as you, and besides: feeling bad is fattening!

use your experiences to help you learn what does and doesn't work for you, what leads off-track vs. what leads you to success, and it will be time well-spent. an investment, of a sort.

check in often, as it does help, and be good to yourself, which helps a lot. peace out.

Awww....you guys make me feel so much better! *sigh* All your encouragement is like a shower of blessings...JUST WHAT I NEED!

Heykim.........glad you like my fairies....and now that I think about it.....maybe it WAS one of those fairies who gave me the nudge to get myself back here....and back to Atkins.

huskerfan......CushieButterfield......goddess..... .tiashanty......CINWIN......Kumus......YOUR WORDS MEAN SO MUCH TO ME....

Law1......Ooooh...do I ever understand....but we're gonna make it this time! Welcome back to you too.....

Maggie......Lawbooks......I remember you from my time here before....and it's good to be back....*sigh*

BARB KEITH, bless her heart.... gave me the address to this site, as I had lost it....luckily I found her email addy from signing in at my website...

Thank you all again so much....

Now...I must tell you....I had some difficulty finding my last post, as things work a little differently than last time I was here....but I finally caught on to it....as well as doing some editing of my profile....

I'm here - to stay....this time....

Ginni

Oh.....and how!

It's working....(as I knew it would from past experience).....

I AM losing....I can feel it in my clothes....

I don't know how much, cuz I don't weigh in.....plus I don't even know what my start weight was... and I can't even say for sure just what day I started (not very good at record-keeping, I guess)....I just know I'm losing....and for now...that's all that counts.....

I LOVE IT!

Ginni

Ps...oh...and how the heck do I post an image?????

Oops! guess I did, already....
