Here I am again....

[BethOfHearts]

Hi, I'm Beth. I used to hang out at another board about 3 years ago when I lost 85 lbs to get down to a hot 150! Well, in the last 3 years, I landed a great guy, moved to a great city, and gained back every pound I've ever lost. So, I'm back and I'm fat again.

It's totally embarrassing to see any of my old friends...especially since I've moved away. Now I don't want to see anyone who's last memory of me was when I was thinner.

So, in the last two years, I've been trying and trying to get back in action on Atkins. I've had repeated episodes of dieting for a week, then binging back all the pounds within a couple of days.

One thing I haven't tried this time is to find a support group like this one. I had a lot more computer time back then. I remember how I'd log on every day and talk to everyone. It was nice having a relationship w/ so many great people who were in the same boat as me. Many of my old friends are on this board, I believe!

I hope that having your support will help me lose these terrible pounds again. I will make the commitment to find the time to log on...

Okay, sorry so long! Thanks!!

Welcome Beth. Having this support group has been the best asset for me in losing the weight. There are lots of posts on health/life issues, challenges to join, journals for meeting people and keeping track of my goals, motivational stories and photos and connecting with people who understand and are doing this WOE. We're all here for you and wish you the best success. Keep us posted on your progress!

Embarrassed to see old friends... don't be.. be proud of yourself for gettin back on and doin it again!! This site is amazing and so helpful. I agree with you that it truly helps having a family of friends around dealing with the same thing you are!

Hey Beth! Welcome to the board. There probably are old freinds of yours stil hanging around, they will be happy to see you. My advice for staying on track is to come around the board often. You will find great support here to help you along your way.
