Begin date yesterday

[kissthegirl145]

Although I have been viewing this website for some time, I just gathered up enough nerve to register. Here goes my story: I lost weight on Atkins in 2003 approximately 30 pound. I kep the weight off for a while up until recently after having lost a loved one. My weight before the 30 pounds was 215, and my weight now is 210. I'm five pounds shy of being where I was in 2003. My goal back then was 50 pounds, and although I never made it, I maintained the 30 pounds until recently. I have set my goal at 50 pounds and I am determined to achieve this goal. I started Atkins on yesterday and I plan on posting pictures after I achieve this goal. I decided to utilize this site to get me where I need to be. Any encouragement is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the board! I'm glad you decided to register. You will find lots of great support and encouragement here. If you like to journal, consider starting one in the 'journal chats' section. It's great for making friends on the board and getting advice and encouragement along the way. Have fun and happy losing!

P.S. I think it's awesome that you started yesterday and didn't make up excuses to wait until the New Year! Way to go!!!

Welcome to the board and welcome back to Atkins! It's really wonderful that you've decided to start Atkins just before Christmas. Usually people wait until after the festivities to start a weight loss programme. This way, you'll be ahead, and won't have those extra holiday lbs to get rid of!

Ask questions, roam the board and have fun. We're all rooting for you!

I agree with inhisgrip -- good for you for not waiting until January.

Glad to hear you've decided to return to what works for you. Is the Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution book you have the 2002 edition? Just double-checking... lots of great (and updated) info in there.

Best of luck to you, and happy holidays! Just think about how nice your New Years will be knowing you are ALREADY on the road to where you want to be...
