Hiya all! I am new but have been reading the boards for about two weeks. I will be starting a journal here today or tomorrow so I won't dish my whole story here.

Did Atkins in 1999 and lost 30# in two months. Then, was seperated for a while. Went on the always classic Red wine and Diet Coke diet and lost 30# in a month. Reconciled with hubby and gained it all back in a year. That's the gist of it.

I am a mom, wife, friend, credit counselor, and webmaster. I usually speak very frankly and honestly, which often offends people. I have a sarcastic sense of humor, which often offends people as well. ("Gee, is she being sarcastic or honest?" they always think.... ;) ) I tend to watch my mouth on boards like these and keep my opinions to myself because I know I am not the most subtle person in the world and really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Hope you all can stand me! LOL!

Anyway, I am going for it again and will check in when I can.

Hi there - I too have had great success with Atkins (170 - 125) two summers ago. I finally did it after ending a long-term, emotionnaly draining relationship. Started a new relationship last January and slowly gained back up to 145.... but before it got too back i came back to this WOE - hopefully for good to keep those pounds and fat off!

Welcome!

I appreciate everyone's posts. I did start my journal, which I find really fun because I imagine no one looks at them much and I can say whatever I want. Venting is good.

I am sure I will see everyone on the boards as I have a few nagging questions so help me out if you see me!
