Many of us have done this more than once and to me the past isnt as important as the future. The only thing the past should do for you is motivate you to not go down the same roads that led you to places that werent good for you before. Welcome back!

Maries,

I did the same thing. I went from 230 to 134 and maintained it for 4 years and then gained weight around 5 months ago. You're not alone. Everyone here has been very supportive and wonderful. Just jump back in and get all the support that you need. There's a lot of wonderful people on the bb. A lot of people will offer their support and everyone's been really gentle.

Welcome back

I'm coming back again for the second time too. The people seem nicer now, a few of them kind of scared me away last time. Good luck!

New here but having gained and lost weight over and over again I know how hard it is to make the decision to try again. You can do it!

Have you thought about joining bootcamp? I think it is the best way to complete an induction! I can't imagine anything that would have had me more dedicated.

hey, well i dont feel back i think this is like my 4th or 5th attempt. Although this time I am more focused and determined to stick period. I restarted low carbing April 28 and I havent cheated one day. I exercises at least 4-5times a week on my recommenbent bike and I also doing boxing (at home onTV) once or twice a week. Now did anyone notice that they didnt lose weight as fast this time. I mean every time I have done Atkins I drop 10lbs in the first 14days. this time I have been on a month and I think I have only lost about 8lbs. I wonder if the working out is the reason the lbs lost is slower? any advise, i do drink plenty of water 3 (33oz bottles) everyday!
