Back Again and This Time I mean it!

[LuckyD]

Hello to you all. This will be my third 'serious' time on Atkins. I always seem to come back because I know it works. The hardest part for me though is keeping it going after 4 or so months. So I am going to attempt to make it through to a real lifestyle change this time. I started today and weighed in at 160 a really uncomfortable place for me. I will be happy at 140 but ecstatic at 130. This board is a tremendous help so I will be reading a posting daily.

Welcome back. Great job. I look forward to seeing your posts.
So what happens around 4 months? Do you get bored or maybe a bit discouraged when the slow down happens? Did you try climbing up the ladder to add more choices? I think that helps some people hang in there.

Life happens...hahaha. The 4 preteen girls in my house stress me out and I end up calming myself with a nice glass of wine. I work at a very nice winery part time and I have GREAT wine to drink and I LOVE wine, so that temptation in itself is almost overwhelming. My husband and I are foodies. We love to cook and eat out and be social. So even under the best intentions I will end up slipping and then down the slippery slope I go. But I know what I need to look out for and I am just going to try a little harder to resist this time.

This is an old signature. I am having a hard time editing it. Can anyone help me on that one?
