Not a newbie, but delurking | | | Hi,
I have been a member here for a while, but I have only participated as a lurker. Janice suggested that I post here also, so here I am.
My name is Tina, I am a SAHM and I home school my two little ones. I have been on Atkins since June and met my goal on Halloween. Sure feels good.
Here are some stats:
Start Weight - 160
Goal Weight - 125
Present Weight - 122
Start Clothing Size - 14 (probably should have been a 16, but there is no way that I was going to buy a size that big)
Present Clothing Size - 6
This is the first time in my life that I have been overweight. With the pregnancy of my last child (7 yo daughter) I put on quite a few pounds. It was a high risk pregnancy and I was bed ridden. After she was born, I did not do anything to get the weight off. A few years later, I decided to quit smoking and that helped pack on even more pounds. I had been wanting to lose the extra weight, but never really did anything about it until last Summer. Diabetes runs heavily on both sides of my family and I wanted to get rid of the extra weight. Besides, I was sooooooo tired of hiding my extra poundage by wearing baggy clothing and just plain ole tired of being very uncomfortable.
I am looking forward to meeting all of you. | |
