Default I will do it this time.

Hi, I was on Atkins a long time ago, and did great, but did not stick with it, and gained back all of my weight plus 10 pounds. I am very ashamed, because I was almost at goal, and let myself get back to where I was. I have been wanting to comeback, but felt embarrassed, so I made a new screen name. I am motivated and willing to do what I need to in order to live a healthier life. I am tired of living this way.

Welcome back SuzyQ! No need to feel embarrassed about re-starting. You're giving yourself two wonderful gifts: better health and a trimmer figure.

Why not check in to the Second Time Around Club, where everyone's taken at least one fall from the Atkins wagon. There's lots of support and good advice to be had there.

Keep posting. YOu can do this!

SuzyQ - welcome back....what is important is that you have restarted your journey to being healthier and losing the weight you want to lose.....you can do it...you know that already so that's a given.....just remember that once we make life changes we must change the way we think, act, and react to practically everything......make giving up/in "a no option" for you!!!
Look forward to getting to know you!

Welcome to the program, I just started four days ago and it does not do anyone any good to beat yourself up. The past is behind you, focus on your slimmer self in front of you!
