Greetings!!
I was a regular on this forum from January till June of 2003. I lost 50 pounds during that period. When I got off the diet I continued to watch my intake (without watching carbs) and took up running. I ran in several of the local races. I lost an additional 15 pounds running. I actually won a trophy at one of the races! Well the holidays were too good for me, I gained 6 pounds. So I am back for a few months. My present weight is 240 and my new goal is 200. I hope to be there by June. Today is my first day of low carbs.

I tell ya'! It is amazing how many people ask me for advice about the diet!! I am constantly amazed at how much new stuff is coming out that is labeled low carb.

Thanks

Steve

Welcome back and congratualtions on your sports success. Why not just stay low carb now?

I missed carbs.
The 5 months that I was on it, I only cheated once. Those 2 cookies gave me such a sugar rush it was scary!! I very much look forward to losing weight again on Atkins. I also got to the point where my platues were lasting longer and longer.
