Smile New here but not to Atkins

HI!!! i've been reading the boards for a few days and you people are AMAZING!!!!!!! i LOVE it here!!!!!There is so much support and love!!!! let me tell you a bit about myself...i'm a 34 y/o mother of 4 beautiful children! i lost about 65 lbs on atkins 7 years ago and have tried several times to go back to this woe and failed. I recently lost my grandmother and it opened my eyes to how short life really is , and in a blink it can be over! I don't want to live the rest of my life being uncomfortable in my skin!!! so i'm back and in it for the long hall this time!!!!! wish me luck!!!!! i need all the support i can get!! 2 weeks on induction and i'm down 8.5 lbs. i still feel bloated even though i'm drinking tons of water, but i fit into a pair of pants i haven't worn in months so i'm on my way!!!!!!

Congrads on what you've lost already.

Nice to here about someone who has lost lots of weight with Atkins (this is my second time round, but I wasn't very commited the first time)

Good luck, I wish you lots of good luck (have to be careful what kind you wish for)

Vamps, congratulations for finding your way back to Atkins. And on your great progress so far! Not sure if you've read the new Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002 edition), but quite a bit may have changed since the last time you did it. Namely, lots more veggies! So, do check it out if you haven't yet...

Also, you may want to pop into the Second Time Around Club if you haven't already. Lots of "retreads" who are back and here to stay!

Best of luck to you!
