Kristine, Dreams and ChickLady:
Thanks so much for the awesome welcomes! Today was a much better day for Atkins. I can say. The weigh in was worse than I thought, but everybody has to start somewhere so I am just going to suck it up, move forward and not look behind or at my behind for a while.
Apparently the intial 6 pound loss was a lot of water or I ate a whole lot more candy than I thought as they were back on the scale today. Arg.
Ok, done beating myself up over it.
We are relocating soon to Texas as my husband just started a new job. Our daughters have to finish out their school year(freshman highschool, freshman college) so I have until mid June or early July to set a couple of goals for some initial weight loss before we actually get moved. I would really like to lose 15-20 lbs in the next eight weeks. I am not sure if I can do it though. Overall I need to lose about 40 lbs. I figured once I lose 40 that would be a good place to stop and take stock once the weight is gone and see how much things have shifted and in what direction before I go for a possible additional 10. I just don't know if my highschool weight is really such a good weight for me now that I am older. It is just the weight I remember being healthiest at. The thinner I get though the older my face looks, or it could just be that I am getting older.
Have a great week, Monstrous Monday is over for another week. Healthy thoughts your way,
