Default I have never introduced myself.

I had been a lurker for almost 2 years. A few months back I signed up as a member and have even posted a reply a time or two.

I have about 25 pounds to lose. I have lost and gained the same 10 pounds for the past ten years.

I turned 49 today, and weigh in at about 160 lbs at 5 ft 4 in. I restarted this WOE on New Years Day, and have been power walking for about an hour everyday (since the unseasonably not-so-cold weather has made it possible).

I love this board, and am always encouraged when I read others success stories. Also, when I have those days when things don't work out as well as I'd hoped, this board helps me on track.

Nice to meet you, Marcella. You will have lots of company here if you stay active on the board. It makes this WOE a lot more pleasant when you are part of a community doing it together.


Are you on induction?

Default Re: I have never introduced myself.

Thanks for replying everyone. I had an irrational fear that no one would respond.


I am retrying induction for the umpteenth time. I know this WOL works because I've lost weight on it before, but like so many others, returned to my old way of eating, and regained the weight and then some.

Have a great day everyone!

Default Re: I have never introduced myself.

Hiya Marcella and a belated Happy Birthday! So glad you've de-lurked after two years. Hopefully that'll be a step towards keeping you motivated to make Atkins a lifestyle change rather than a diet! We're all rooting for you and ready to encourage and advise whenever you need us. Just holler!

Happy losing!
