New to the WISH board

[MrsJ Henry]

Hi all
I've been on the DisBoards for a little while now but I'm new to the WISH boards.
I did Atkins 4 years ago for a year and lost over 100 lbs. Well.... I've gained back about 70 so I've got my sanity back and and I'm back on it!!!!!! What ever was I thinking eating all that junk when I KNOW what it does to me!!!!!
I loved Atkins before and was so happy with it on so many levels.
It took me a while but I started back up 5 days ago. So far I've lost 7 lbs.(gotta love induction)
I just hit 40yrs old and realized that it just keeps getting harder to keep it off so I have to really make it a priority!!
I was so happy to find this board. So Hello to all!!!

Welcome MrsJ

I haven't been here very long, but it's a great place for support and questions.
I'm in my second week of Induction. I've never tried Atkins before and I love hearing all the success stories. I lost 45 by cutting calories and not snacking. Then I got stuck and am hoping Atkins will get me going again.

hi! im new too..just started coming bc i definitely need some encouragement too!! gonna go out and get an excercise dvd tomorrow so i can work out in my room, and when it is warm enough, going to jog and play tennis

 

[MrsJ Henry]

Thank you all for the welcomes and support. I'm sure I'll be posting here often.
My husband and i just decided yesterday to go on a cruise in May so I'm in Turbo mode now. EEEKKKK That's so close and I would have liked to have lost more before going anywhere but we have never been on a cruise and we were both thinking that we really needed to go somewhere before our trip to Disney in November.

Once again Thanks everyone!!! You are all so sweet!!!

HI MrsJ and welcome to WISH! Congratulations on your 7 lb. loss so far--that's just terrific! I'm in my maintenance phase right now, but I still come here every day for a good dose of motivation and support! The WISHers are THE BEST, and we'll be here for you whenever you need us! "Turbo Mode"--I like that! Please stop by often and keep us posted on all your successes!

Welcome to the WISH board. I know that you are going to love it over here and find as much inspiration and encouragement as I do. When I feel like I'm the only one dealing with something, all I have to do is come over here and realize that there are many more walking in the same shoes as I am.

Congratulations on your 7# loss so far and I'm sure you'll be reporting even more real soon. Keep up the great work.

Welcome and wow nothing like a cruise for a "goal" to keep you motivated!

Sounds like you are on your way to success - will be looking for your posts of progress - and WISHing you a successful journey!
