Default Hey folks! another 2nd timer

Hey folks, looks like I got alot of company, I see alot of 2nd timers posting here! It's been 4 yrs since I started induction last, I lost about 15lbs and stalled, then gave in to the almighty GRAVY gods! Well dang it, I throwed out all my flour and I'm ready to get in shape! I'm M 5'6" weight around 206lbs. DOC says I should be around 160, HAH! when I was in the best shape of my life in my 20's/Army days I was 165. And at 41 I'm thinkin' 170lbs is more like it. Anyways, this WOE is for me 'cause I LOVE MEAT, whether it walks, crawls, swims or flies! farm raised, wild game, roadkill or any combo of the three! I also love green leafy veggies. Well, gotta go pick up my old dog ear'd copy of DANDR and brush up!

cya!

Jim

Hi Jim...2nd time is a charm. Much luck to you in your second journey. This is my second time as well and it is working out great. Don't get me wrong I have those days when I crave my cookies but those days I reach for my low carb balance bars

Take care and no giving up this time!

Welcome back to Atkins and to the board! So happy you decided to re-commit!
Why not check out the Second Time Around Forum, where everyone has fallen off the wagon and then returned at least once. Lots of support to be had there.

Post lots and keep us updated as to your progress... we're with you all the way.
