Getting started today

I have a LOT to lose. Over 100 pounds.

I tried Atkins once before, and lost a good amount of weight. Stopped 40 pounds before goal after losing 60. I refuse to let that happen again. I've been reading the forums a great deal the past couple of weeks, getting a feel for the plan, and have been reading my copy of DANDR.

I'm ready. I'm scared, I'm hopeful, and I'm ready.

If you stick to what your name is.. then you will succeed...
Keep at it and welcome back!
We all understand about being scared, but .. YOU CAN DO IT!

Thanks guys! I started my own journal here too, as I tend to do better if I can sit and write out my thoughts, rather than holding stuff inside.

Had 3 eggs with 1/2 cup sauteed onion in butter and 1 oz cheddar cheese for breakfast. Off to a good start!

Hi and welcome back –

Don’t compare what you lost or how you did “the last time” your body and lifestyle isn’t the same as last time – follow the plan the way it is written, exercise, drink plenty of pure water (64 ounces minimum daily – nothing added) and you’ll be on your way to loosing before you know it.

Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support. Check the stickies at the top of the induction forum to refresh your memory on the plan. (BEFORE you begin the Atkins Nutritional Approach...)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/5781-before-you-begin-atkins-nutritional-approach.html.
