OK guys well I have gained so much and i am ready for hard work. On January 2nd, my new life begins. I signed up for different classes at the gym and a trainer who is going to follow my progress every step of the way. I am using this last week to get everything out of my system and have a new fresh begining. I can see the weight gain all over my body and in my face and i am excited cause i know that i can make it go away with atkins. I know i can also get support here from you guys. I appreciate it and i know this is going to be my year.

Welcome back!! Sounds like you're really motivated. Good Luck. You know you'll find all the help you need here! I'm planning on reaching my goal this year too. Hopefully by March.
look forward to following your progress!

Welcome Back Sandra

Seems like many of us had a rough year diet wise. Im with ya, we'll do this!

yeah well i can only wear my "fat" pants right now so it sucks

Hiya ilm4! We're almost the same weight and I know I'm in my fat pants-hope we can make this fun somehow together! *clinking glasses for the Best Year Yet toast @ the LC Forum!*

I will totally be your weightloss bud AUD. We are even the same height. lol. Well i dug through all of my stuff here at the house and found my atkins book. i am going to re read it before the 2nd to kind of brush up on everything so it is fresh in my brain. i am currently in a size 16 and i have pants that are 14s and i bought some 12s the other day. that is how i lost weight the last time, the smaller clothes give me mini goals. i just cant wait to be buying 10s again. Well i am off to another day at work. I will catch up with you guys later.

Hi everyone, I'm ready for the new year. Complete with appropriate foods to eat and exercise equipment to use. I'm ready to kick myself back in high gear. No cheats for me.

I am with you Sandra, I'm so ready for a new year! I'm also new to this forum & would like to do Atkins. So I'm hoping for success & making new friends while I'm on my journey of loosing weight & getting healthy.

P.S. Sandra I see your from Texas? Which part?
I'm from San Antonio.
