Smile New to the Boards Not new to Atkins

Hi everyone, I'm Greg from Connecticut I'm 38 and I am finally focused. I read and reread the book and I am confidentthat I am on my way. I have 3 wonderful kids and they need me to stick around a while. I started atkins in 2005 and lost 45 lbs in 5 months then like many I put it all back on plus 25....not so good!

On February 1st it was a milestone of sorts for me. I hit 301 pounds .....a weight I never thought i could get to...but I did ..So that day I restarted atkins and since have lost 31 pounds. Only 70 to go to my goal. I was browsing and found this site. It seems i have plenty to learn from all of you. I need all the help and support I can get in learning my new lifestyle. Pictures and journals are to follow ( as soon as i figure out how to do it)

Thank all of You Greg in Conecticut

Hi Greg! Welcome to our family. You'll find all kinds of support here from others who want to see you succeed. Get active in the forums, check out the journals, recipes, challenges (theres a 20/24 one for getting you motivated to start an exercise routine) and read all the motivational stories (loser's lounge - main Atkins forum) and the inspiring photos.

You did so well the first time, write out what made you quit doing the program before and make plans to avoid letting those obstacles get in your way again. We're here for you....if you need help, just holler. Best wishes!

Good day Greg!! Hey thanks for the message bro!! No worries I didn't forget ya!!! Welcome to the spotlight! Congrats on the 31 pounds, feels pretty dang good huh? Excellent focus and determination.

My name is Scooter, we pretty much have the exact same story, only difference is you had 6 pounds on me and from CT!!! lol. I've been following this way of life for almost a year now man, and I've lost 75 pounds and 10 inches (waist) and 3XX shirts to XL. Life is good! I still have 25 more pounds to go and looking forward to living this way the rest of my natural unnatural life!

Have you thought about joining any of the exercise challenges.....this one is not really an exercise challenge (persay) but it's a great one.....check it out...

Hey man, since you had so much success before, why not hop on over to the Second Time Around Club too. It's for those of us (including me) who have strayed from plan, only to find our way back into the light! I had a bad battle with a 'cookie' and gained 14 pounds from Thanksgiving to Valentines day..(long sad story with a happy ending) the Second Time Around Club has been awesome for me, we post a daily roll call and discuss everything from goals to family to providing a shoulder for those who need it from time to time. Come hang out with us Greg!!

Anyway, congrats on going low carb, make sure you jump around the forums and make your presence known, don't be a stranger man, you've lost 31 pounds in a short time, that is an inspiration to others who are just getting started. I love when I've found I have inspired someone, it's a great feeling!!We are very happy to have you with us!!
Best of wishes! Life is good!

Hi Greg from Connecticut! Second time around eh? Lots of us on the board. Have you gone to the Second Time Around Forum (STAC)? You know how this way of eating (WOE) works, you did a great job last time! This time, make it 100% part of your life, for good!
