Default Another Newbie here

Hi all. I'm a newbie here, but not to Atkins, This is my 3rd time around, and I'm hoping third time's a charm I did great for several years....until I moved in with my now-husband who thought I was surely trying to kill him by withholding carbs. The rest, sadly, is predictable. Each time I gained back more that I was to start with, so today I restart at a whopping 275 pounds with a goal (let's be realistic here) of 170.
I'll be checking in often to keep my motivation up and hope to "meet" you all!

Oh oh. I have to change my original post. Now granted I hadn't been on the scale in a while. Must've stretched out my clothes. But since this morning was my official start (my morning is about 1 pm-I work nights) I got on the scale and......(screaming) my start weight is 290
Thanks for all the "welcomes" !

Hiya Chicklady! Welcome aboard. Nice to have you with us. Congrats for re-committing!
Don't stress your start weight... lots us us got nasty surprises when we weighed in at the start. After just a few days on this programme, you'll be smiling.

Happy Atkineering!

I got that nasty little shock over two years ago. You'd be surprised at how those numbers will keep you on track. I was 296 and never, ever wanted to see 300 pounds on a scale. I've lost 120 pounds and will never go back.

You have found a wonderful, supportive place to join. We keep each other motivated and honest. Join some challenges after you find your way around. The "Read the Book 2007" challenge would be a good one to jump into right now. All the advice in the world is not as good as having a handle on the words right from the good doctor's mouth!

Sunny!

Hi Chicklady. Welcome to the family. Glad you've joined us. They say third time is a charm. Write out what caused you to jump off the program the two times before and make solutions to get through those obstacles this time around. We are all here for you, its fun to do the program with others who are making it happen. Best wishes!
