I'm starting to worry about myself quite a lot. As many of you know, I've been on the Atkins journey since October 2005. The first time around, I lasted 1.5 years, lost an immense amount of weight, and fell off the wagon due to severe depression (I was suicidal for over a year, so understandably Atkins wasn't my priority at that point in my life).

Now that I feel I've rebuilt myself, and my life, I've spent the last year or so battling with my weight. I'm back to my original weight...

i was on the diet around the first of this year and was actually doing pretty good...why i decided to stop is beyond me....anywho...i ended up gaining back whatever weight i did lose plus an extra 5 lbs...so needless to say i am up to 270lbs...my highest weight ever.....that pretty much sucks....so here i am...back again with a positive attitude as i know this program truly works...also joined the local gym here in town..so hopefully between the 2 my pounds will gladly start melting away...one can...

No excuses, I fell off the wagan and have gained some weight back. I need to get motivated again and get back to Atkins. No more bread and I have to exercise again. I got a bad case of platerfaciatis(bad heel pain) and stopped exercising. I have several stresses in my life right now and I need to put things in perspective and get back to a way of eating that has always been successful me! Here's to finding that motivation again. I am afraid to step on the scale!

Hiiiiiiiiiii everyone i finally managed 2 get through last week successfully i lost 3 pounds & i maintained my 2 hour work out it wasn't easy (work & chores at home + treadmill), BUT IT WAS WORTH IT
