Default Today is the big day

Just wanted to say hi. My name is Roger and I am 38, I am Starting on Day 1 today, with along way to go. But as they say one day at a time.

Did Atkins 8 years, went from 320 to 240, felt great, being a fool I eventually went off. Now 8 yeas later I'm an all-time high of 352lbs. Hopefully I am back on track.

Goal Weight 225

Hiya Roger and welcome aboard! So glad you decided to re-commit to Atkins! You did it before, so I'm positive you'll do it again.

One day at a time is the absolute right way to take things... baby steps. Keep going steadily and you'll soon see light at the end of the tunnel.
Why not join a challenge or two, or start a journal? Great for motivation and accountability!

Do share your progress with us... we love cheering people along the route!

Default Re: Today is the big day

I just wanted to thank everyone for making me feel welcome. Just reading post in the many forums has me feeling inspired and ready to make it happen. This time my goal is not Atkins the diet, but Atkins the life plan. Like some many people I have literally lost hundreds if not thousands of pounds over the years. I'm tired and I'm tired of it.

Hopefully this will be the time and place I do it for myself and forever.

PS- 1 day down and it went well.

Welcome to ADBB Roger, nice to meet you. You did it once so you know you can do it again. I can't wait to hear about your results. I am sure you will post some great numbers after induction. Browse around and make yourself feel right at home. I like your motto, one day at a time. That saying keeps me keeping on too. Good luck !!
