Hi Rick,
Thanks for sharing your story with us. I also live in Green Bay!
This is my first day on this site. I felt the need to reach out to other low carb people, in need of eachother's support.
I had been trying for years to change my lifestyle to the Atkins way of eating,
and had found success, only to fall of the boat several times. I realize the error of my ways and have resigned myself to the fact that my body is so incredibly sensitive to processed food, sugar, flour, starch, etc. and it's time that I make the change forever!
I currently weigh about 217.
I started Atkins 50 days ago at 235 pounds, so I have lost almost 20 pounds!
I know that sounds really amazing, but I have been here several times before.
about 6 years ago, I actually lost 40 pounds but stopped the diet. Not sure what de-railed me, but I'm trying again. and this time I mean business!!
I'm 38 years old, and a mom. Never been too physically active, but last year had a sudden urge to start power walking/jogging, which was great.
I started getting addicted to it and thought it would continue, but when the weather started getting cold, I quit and gained back 15 pounds in winter.
So, I am definitely one of these ultra sensitive body types who has always
struggled with my weight, but I am simply not going to let it get the best of me.
I came here to make some buddies, and to be a friend to people like you..
cuz we should all stick together!
WE can do it!
Who's with me??
