A fresh start

[gbh1935]

Howdy All,

My name is George and I am making a fresh start on atkins. I did atkins about 7 years ago and lost 80 pounds from 286 down to 200. I kept the weight off for over a year, but eventually things fell apart. Now I am back to ground zero... 274 as of abount week ago. I decided it was time to take control back and went on induction. It is now day 8 and I am at 266, dispite going to three birthday parties in the last week. (CAKE!!!). I am tracking everything via fitday dot com and am bring mindful of both calories and carbs. I am one who could eat a 8 ozs of cheese at a time (at 100 calories an ounce wow), so I am trying to really control that as well. Hopefully be gathering all the data, I can figure out something that can stick for life and not just a couple years.

Welcome George. I have found I have to track both as well. Portion control is definitely something I am working on. I can tell you from experience that if you commit, it will work again. Probably a little slower, but it will work. This board goes by the 2002 edition of Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution and there are a lot of folks ready to support you and answer questions. Best of luck with your re-Induction.

Welcome aboard, George.

Cheese is a weakness of mine as well. But we shall overcome.

hi and welcome back George -- check the STAC (second time around club) for extra support ... vary your meals so you don't get bored, drink at least 64 ounces of pure water daily (nothing added) and start an exercise plan as soon as you can. Good luck.
