I did Atkins several years ago and lost 25 lbs. Then I went back to my normal eating habits and gained it back plus 25 more. I work out regularly and haven't lost any weight. I "know" the only way back is to do low carb again. So here I am starting all over again. I am definately a carb addict. A really difficult time is when I'm at school (I am a teacher) and someone brings in treats. Guess I need to stay away from the teacher's lounge!!

Anyways, I am super determined to stay on track. I hate the way I look with all the weight and dread shopping. My clothes make me feel frumpy and do nothing for my self esteem. I AM GOING TO DO THIS!!!

I look forward to the support.

Welcome! It's nice to have you here!

Why not start a journal, so we'll be able to drop in and say hi once in awhile?

Glad to have you onboard with us. Best of luck on your new journey.

I am a teacher too! There's something about teachers and junk food!! Good luck to you. You can do this and you're in the right place.

Welcome.... lemme tell ya.. it's not just teachers.... We have the same thing here... people love to bake and have you eat their food.... it's a social thing....

be strong.. you can do this... and this place will help give you the support you need to create that slimmer and healthier you.
