Coming Back

[plegal]

Back in 2003 I lost 55 pounds on Atkins and felt like a 20 year old again. I followed Atkins faithfully and enjoyed progessing through the stages of the diet. I kept the weight off for 2 years but some personal set-backs brought on depression and my old pastry eating, cookie munching self came back and the weight gradually crept back on. I can't say I didn't enjoy the comfort foods, the cinnamon buns and chocolate chips, etc., but here it is 2007 and I've gained back 45 of those 55 pounds and am back on blood pressure and type II diabetes medication. This morning when I woke up an could barely hobble to the bathroom because my ankles hurt due to the extra weight, I thought enough is enough, I am ready for Atkins again and hopefully Atkins for life. Back in 2003 I really enjoyed the Atkins chats, they were always so positive. I'm looking forward to another great experience and life-style change. Thanks for reading.

Thanks lamby-pie, congrats on your own weight loss. How did you put your weight loss ticker on your profile?? I'm not very savy when it comes to html stuff.

Atkins is responsible for me NOT i repeat NOT having type II diabetes anymore. Welcome back and good luck.

Hi Plegal,

I hope I explain this okay, it's real easy to add a ticker.

Go to www.tickerfactory.com

and follow the directions. When you are finished with your ticker, there will be a box for bb boards, highlight and cut out the entire code using cut and paste.
Go to Private Messages in the upper right hand corner of this board, then change signature on the left. Paste in the code and there you go.
It's fun watching the ticker go down. I get a little boost just looking at it.
