It's been so long, I fell off the wagon and let it trundle away.

So I figure I better re-introduce myself.

I'm Cheryl and I'm from Australia. Have just turned 39 and made the decision I need to be in shape for my 40th. I'm back to something I know works.

I have gained all I lost + 2 pounds.

So just made the decision tonight, I start in the morning. No waiting til Monday.

Can't wait til get back into the goss with everyone, I wonder how many are still here.

Dear Cheryl: I know how you feel. I did the same thing but you are back and that's the main thing. I have learned from then and I know that this works too. I also learned that I will have to keep my carbs low even when I am at goal. So, go for it and do it well and be proud of it. Have a great one.

Welcome back Cheryl!

I am a retread myself, there are a lot of us here making a new commitment in 2004. You aren't alone! But this time, we can take what we learned and give it a good go round! Welcome home - Orchid

Welcome back to the board!!!

Hi guys, me too! I lost 25lbs in 7 weeks last year and never felt better, had a bit of a rough time and gained 15 back, but I'm here to try again, feeling bad though, on my 5th day no energy, sleeping badly, hungry which I never was before but determined not to go back to those evil carbs again, they really don't suit us do they?

Welcome back Cheryl, I'll be with you, all the way! How is the low carb product situation in Australia? Its just starting to get a little better here and I hear there are BIG plans for 2005!

Best wishes and GOOD LUCK SarahP

Thanks for the welcomes.

I'm not sure how the low carb product is - I haven't been looking. Have to now. I did get some Aitkins products last night at exhorbitant prices, sorry to say I didn't like what I bought. I'll have to get on the Aussie forum to check out the situation.
