Hi Everybody,

Well I was doing great on Atkins and lost about 25 pounds between July and February (7 months). I got down to about 137 pounds. Then I began to relax a little, stopped visiting this support group (big mistake) and stopped counting my carbs (but still ate low carb food). Now I am up to 144 (as of this morning) which isn't horrible but if I continue the way have been I am going to gain it all back. And I'm sorry but I just got into my size 8/9's for Christmas and sold my old pants on eBay, I can't go back. And now my new size of pants is starting to fit a little tightly. ANYWAY tomorrow I am going to change my life again and my goal is to lose 9 pounds in 9 weeks to get down to 135. I would love to have some company and support. I plan to hit up this site a lot again because it really helped me before. Join me?

Love,

Jen

After this Easter Weekend totally off the track event...I am back on track today. What is bad is that I'm starting this on-again/off-again pattern which is hurting me. Not that I am gaining weight during this off time...but it must be screwing up my metabolism! Grrrr....easter cookies did me in this time.

I'm in. My week leading up to Easter was a distaster! Determined to get back on track, though.

I'm in too!!! Easter Sunday was a sugar/starch/carb blowout!!!

I am back on track too. I waaaaay prefer the way I feel ON Atkins to the way I feel OFF!

Hi! I started Atkins last year, and lost about 30 pounds in a few months. I have since gained back about 10, and lately I have been stuck in an on-again, off-again pattern. I too had a super carb blow-out this weekend, so I am starting hardcore induction today! Let's do this right!!!

I'm in too. I tend to fall off unfortunately every Sunday but after feeling so bad last night with a carb headache, I am definately back on track. I love the energy I get from this WOE and feeling better about my food choices at the end of the day. We can do it!!!

I'm in. I mainly have slowed my progress with frankenfood over the past couple months... but recently went on a carb-eating bender in NYC last week!! Time to get back on track and use frankenfoods super-sparingly!!

Jen;

I could have written most of your post word for word. I was 137 in Feb 14 and am 144 this morning. I need to get back on track and count carbs and calories on the computer instead of in my head. And I need to get back to the gym more often.

I've been really slack thinking I could do it in my head. I was WRONG ;~( and the scale is mocking me to prove it.

I have 4 weeks to my Disney trip and about 9 to my high school reunion and I would love to be at 135 for the reunion! It would be so cool to blow them all away. I finished h.s. in 1984 at 235#!

Sure I'll join you 9# in 9 weeks! We can do this!!!

Take care, Julie

I'm in..I too had a carb filled weekend..Lets all try to do induction for the 2 weeks at least..No cheats..

I too fell off but just barely, My mom cooked turkey and dressing yesterday and I had just a little bit of the dressing. Normally I would have eaten a whole lot of it and a couple of helpings. I did very good though by passing on the rolls and the corn. I was very proud of myself for that and I can't believe it I was down another pound this morning.

So go figure, maybe I just ate enough carbs to do something, who knows....

I would like to join in as well. It is wonderful to see the support that is offered here on this site.

I'm in too. I lost 30 lbs. about 3 years ago, but have since put it all back on and then some I started induction today. We can do this.

well, i am a protein powerer, but i too went off the wagon this weekend and am having a "clean" start up today!! lets get that poundage a rolling!!!!

Count me in....last week was a bad one where I just couldn't get my re induction started correctly and the week before I was in vegas and eating some high carb stuff....I've started fresh today and plan on sticking to it!
