Just saying hello as I re-start a modified Atkins WOE. I've made it through Induction and am at that point where I have energy again and cravings are managable. Oh, and I am indeed losing weight while not wanting to gnaw on my desk lamp.

This marks a very strange chapter of my 48 yo life where many things really are quite good and, at the same time, other aspects make me feel like I'm lurching off a cliff. Its as if there is no center or balance at the moment. While I am gainfully employed (in a job I like!) and I am off steroids (prescription for severe skin issues), other areas aren't as wonderful. There has been quite a bit of sadness on the home front.

I've started a journal where I intend to stay focused on the good and to stay on track on what I can control. I will lose this 50#s. Call me Mr. Half Full :-)

Hello bostonkarl and welcome to the forums! :wave:

You will find a lot of support and information here. I'm glad you've found a way to focus your mind on what is important. I have also managed to do this since the beginning of the year and am also thankful that I finally have a full time job to pay the bills.

Keep on keeping on, and good luck! :)
