Hi there :) I'm re-dedicating...

[plsmachic]

Okay, so I guess it could be considered a "restart" but I only went off for four days or so... but I was really good about not cheating before that so... I'm re-dedicating myself to DANDR. Going back to square 1 and re-doing induction and so on and so forth... I think my biggest downfall was I stayed on induction since Feb 29th this year - when I started Atkins for the 3rd tim ein my life...

I had a lot of success with Atkins after I had my son and right when I got down to this size/weight I went off... I caught myself doign the same thing this time around so I thought I'd join a community of Atkins doers to steer me away... because I'd love to hit the 120's or low 130's...

HW 196/ CW 157/ GW 125



Probably about 175lbs in that pic... I'm on the left
(that was on my way up before I hit 196 - not during Atkins)




I'm on the right at about 158 lbs. and I've hovered at about this weight for over a month now from cheating on and off and then I went completely off it for under a week and NOW I'M BACK !!!

Congratulations.. I joined here for the same reason.. I want to succeed this time. I've been encouraged and supported by these nice people. So I encourage you to do as I've done. Drop in a couple of times every day. IT's inspirational and sits on your shoulder like Jimminy Cricket! I've found it so much easier not to cheat (even on my Birthday!) because I knew I intended to give a weekly weight report here. And cheating would come back to bite me (so to speak )..


So don't be a stranger... we've got lots of encouragement to go around!
