Peeking in again

[Alisha]

Wow, it has been some amount of time.

Ignoring my health, ignoring my life, but the last few weeks i have been more winded and more tired than i have in some time.

I started here on the boards gosh, over 2 years ago. I did really well on atkins for a few months, hit a plateau and got frustrated, and gained all my weight back plus 20.

This last week i have had extreme fatigue, shortness of breath with chest pains, so last night I found myself in the er seeing what was going on. A clean EKG and chest X-Ray giving me a semi clean bill of health, so i can press forward again to maybe get my health under control.

The boards have changed DRAMATICALLY, but its good to be back. Hopefully this time for good.

One thing i have missed in still trying either other weight loss plans, or just going it alone has been the support of the boards. My husband noted that when i was at the peak of weight loss i was on the boards all day long, getting the ideas and support i need to succeed.

thanks for your help in the past and future

CW:315? (my scale isnt accurate above 320 but it hovers at 315),
1st goal: 300 (July 1st)
2nd goal: 250 (christmas)
3rd goal: 200 (may 2007)

I know my goals are achievable, and possibly before my goal dates, im just being reasonable

Hi Alisha and welcome back to ADBB!

Good for you on getting back on the old Atkins wagon...and I totally agree with the support factor and how much of a difference it can make with motivation!

Glad you're back and hope to see you around the board!

Keep us posted and if you need any help, just holler. We all want to see you succeed!

Welcome to the board. I guess I can say "again" because you've been here before when I wasn't. I like your way of thinking. You have set goals that you know you can achieve. We know it too. Go for it!
