Hello everyone,

It’s been a long time since I posted here. I was a regular visitor about 3-4 years ago. I lost 47 pounds but then hit the most stressful year of my life. So now I’m back up to 242, well into my 40’s and back here for a little support. I just started Atkins again. I’m drinking lots of water and green tea. I am trying to exercise (trying is the operative word). And I strive to de-stress with some yoga and deep breathing (also some occasional heavy breathing:)).

I would like to visit here, as before, for some camaraderie and inspiration.

Kind regards,

Melanhrini (Mel)

Welcome aboard Mel.. I am also "exercise challenged" but I'm really "trying".. I'm setting small goals and for the past couple of weeks I've actually met my goals.. I walk twice a week for as long as I can (even if it means 15 minutes).. I am trying to up it to 3 sessions this week.. little consistent exercise is better than nothing, right?


"camaraderie".. I had to look this one up LOL
