Default 3rd Time's a Charm

Hello everyone!

I've been reading posts here for a while and haven't contributed. I thought I'd say hi. I'm on induction for the 3rd time now, derailed after my wedding and the holidays last year. I'm trying to get under control again and get inspired by your success stories. I lost 36 lbs on my own prior to starting Atkins, and another 30 on Atkins. I have another 30 to go. Never had an issue with weight until I went on bc pills a couple years ago, now trying to reverse the damage.

Hey, thanks everyone for the nice welcome! I had a bag of cookies leftover from a party I planned to finish off before induction, but didn't. I stared at them tonight, dangled them in front of my husband and said, "What are we gonna do with these?" And then I thought of the people in this forum and I heard little voices in my head saying, "It's not worth it Emily!!" Thanks, again.

You are right Emily. The bag of cookies were not worth it. I think I have tried Atkins 3 or 4 times and now I think I'm going to make it. No, I know I am. I'm on day 10 of being cheat free.

Congrats on the 10 cheat free days, Faith! That's great! Like I said in my last post, thinking about disappointing the people in this forum is a good way to keep from cheating. Being accountable to people is the kind of motivation I need. Hang in there!
