I'm Back

[swizzle]

About 4 years ago, I lost 50 pounds doing Atkins in 6 months. Then, over the course of the next 4 years, I gradually put 35 back on. Well, January 2007 when pretty much none of my work clothes fit anymore, I decided it was time to lose it again. After 4 or 5 previous tries, I'm hoping make it stick this time. I'm 2 weeks in and have lost 14 pounds. I'm 32 years old, 5'10". My highest weight was 250. Then down to 200. Then back up to 235. Now at 219. My longterm goal is 175. Only 44 more to. Thanks for listening!

Feel free to ask any questions you might have. Everyone here cares and is interested in your progress. Why not join an exercise challenge, or Jimmie's No Scale Challenge (see the Challenges forum for details) which starts on the 21st and lasts two weeks.

Greetings and Salutations. Lots of support here! I can't wait to get to Onederland myself. That's when you get below 200 and you're finally 1something. That will be bliss. You will get there before I do. Save me a spot

Hi Swizzle! Welcome to the board! I love the way you say "only 44 pounds". That's a great attitude and if you stick around on Atkins, it will come off in no time!
