a second try

[comfort]

Hi everyone

I've been lurking about the forums for the past month or so and have finally settled in and started up a journal to keep me on track. This is my second go round with low carb. I followed Atkins two years ago and lost 30 pounds which I kept off for a year and a half by following a maintenace low carb style of eating. But then a hectic schedule and stress led to me slowly falling back into my old habits and over the course of six months I gained back 20 of those pounds.

I'm now in my third week of low carb and its going great. The information here is amazing and its wonderful to see the support and help members offer each other :)

Greetings and welcome aboard!

You are definitely not alone in the "more than once" category. But it's good to see that you caught yours and stopped the slide before you lost all your previous gains - or gained all your previous losses as the case may be.
