Thread: Introduction

I am not exactly a newbie. I was on the atkins diet for quite a long time and lost 30 lbs. and then about a year ago I got careless and one thing led to another and now here I am 16 lbs. heavier than I was. So I am trying to go through Induction again and get back on the plan. I started on 12-15-03 and was doing fine until Christmas eve and Christmas day when of course temptation got the better of me so... Here I go again. I am posting because this board really helped me when I was on Atkins before and I am hoping the support on this board will help me again. I am 5'3" tall and at this point 155 lbs. My goal is to lose the 16 lbs. I gained back plus as much more as possible. Good luck to everyone. This way of eating really does work if you follow the plan.

Welcome back Colleen!
The Holiday temptations will always be there but it's great to know that a day or two of careful LC'ing can bring things back around (or off). I spent yesterday drinking so much water I lost count. I even got some exercise in! Good luck to you too and why not join us in the Valentine's Day Challenge? Sometimes that tiny bit of accountability helps me avoid some temptations.
