I'm back!

After a big move, change in career, a year of nursing school, getting married and many other big changes - my waist line really reflects it all! I've been off my WOE that helped me lose weight for about a year and a half now and I've gained back about 40 lbs and am back into a size 12. I haven't gained all the way back to where I was before but I have gained A LOT.

After looking into the Paleo diet I did consider it but decided to just go back to what helped me before - original Atkins. I've been eating low carb again for the last 3 days and its going great. I've also given up diet soda and am just drinking water. I've lost 4 lbs already. I hope I can keep it up and get the weight off. Hubby and I are planning to begin trying to get pregnant in a year so I have enough time to get the weight off and get healthy before then! What better motivation lol.

I hope there are some faces I recognize still around and I'm looking forward to meeting new ones!

Hi, I've been around for a year or so, but I don't post much (trying to post a little more as it helps me stay on track). I've also had a change of career and just finished my first semester of nursing school (I'm in NZ and our academic year is Feb/Mar - Dec). In the last month or so of the semester I put 4kg back on through bad eating

. So here I am again also recommitting to a LC WOE. Good luck & welcome back.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome everyone! Glad to be back!

bdladie · 07-25-2013, 01:39 PM

Welcome back I think I remember you. I too am new back because of a gain. I didn't gain everything but I have gained enough. Good luck we can both win this battle.
