Hi everyone. This is a pretty cool forum! I started initially in 1997, lost about 40 pounds, and went until last year with no weight gain. Then a couple crises and high stress caused me to eat a donut one day, and I went completely out of control for about 5 months! Gained back 35 pounds. The turning point for me was a lack of energy to keep up with my family and people making comments about how I seemed tired all the time. Guess I was lucky that they didn't also say I was fatter!!

Today is my 2nd day of Induction, 2nd time around. I almost lost it and had a slice of pizza, but was able to keep strong. Can't wait to get past the withdrawals. The one thing keeping me on track right now is that my energy is already back up and I am solidly in ketosis. This time around I plan to lose the 35 and about another 10 on top of that. I start my workouts tomorrow.

And I will definitely check in here for inspiration!

Welcome back! We're glad you're here.
