Hi all,

Just a quicky rundown.....

I first started atkins in february of 1999. I did great losing about 30 pounds in 2.5 months. Then I stalled and stalled and plateau'd... blah blah, not really thinking about it I went off the woe and managed to stay at about 160 until this year. Then we quite smoking and my weight skyrocketed. I started back on induction on Saturday and I caved in and weighed myself this morning....only to discover I had lost 9 whole pounds!!! What a boost to my day (yes I know, water loss) :-)

Anyhow I am in this for the long haul. I no longer think of this as a 'diet' but as the future as my body needs things this way. I have a long way to go to 140lbs but I will get there eventually.

Happy days to all of you!

Stina
