I'm back...to the board and this WOL

[Katlambert]

I've been missing for awhile...life changed drastically for me over the past 5 months or so, including a move to Hawaii, a new someone special in my life, and a job.

Anyway, through all of it, I stayed pretty faithful to this WOE, but the move to Hawaii made it difficult for me. I had gotten down to 130 before I moved and after 3 months of being here realized that I was back at 140. So, I'm back...back on the board where I can get support, back on induction because there was too much cheating going on. I'm just glad that I realized it and am doing something about it before it got out of hand. The best thing is that my new someone special is willing and excited about doing Atkins with me. Between the 2 of us, we want to drop about 20 pounds each, he is mostly excited about a more healthy way of eating overall. It's fun to walk him through induction because I've done it before and I'm sorta a pro at it now!

Welcome home Kathy. It's great to have you back ~ you have been missed. I lived in Hawaii for 3 1/2 years and I absolutely loved it. I would go back in a heartbeat. I hear Hula-dancing is a great form of exercise....might want to give it a try since you are right in the land of the dance.

Glad your new-special someone is going to be doing the WOE with you and living in such a beautiful paradise. Best wishes to you both ~

Where did you live in Hawaii? I absolutely LOVE it here. I'm on The Big Island (Hawaii) along the coast. We are actually building some houses here...my boyfriend is an architect and designs them. One is a spec house and one is his personal house. www.imuadev.com - in case you want to come back!

Wow Kathy, those are beautiful. I'll keep them in mind if/when I ever get to return. Maybe.....

We lived on Oahu. I lived in Aiea until we got quarters on base. (Schofield) What I really miss are the sunsets, the wonderful warm-hearted people, the shooting stars over the ocean, and the rainbows everyday. It was one of the best times of my life living there. Hope you have a fantastic time there!

Welcome back

Oh boy do I wanna come live with you! Hawaii... sigh it would be so nice

[Katlambert]

Well, you are all invited to come see me if you ever get to Hawaii. The only bad thing about Hawaii is that things don't always get done as quickly as we grow to expect on the mainland. I have learned so much patience since I have been here - oh, and my sense of humor has been tested too!
