i was on the diet around the first of this year and was actually doing pretty good...why i decided to stop is beyond me....anywho...i ended up gaining back whatever weight i did lose plus an extra 5 lbs...so needless to say i am up to 270lbs...my highest weight ever.....that pretty much sucks....so here i am...back again with a positive attitude as i know this program truly works...also joined the local gym here in town..so hopefully between the 2 my pounds will gladly start melting away...one can...

i have officially lost 15 lbs my first month...i have to admit that i did not exercising my first month..but i promised myself my 2nd month on the program i am going to exercise at least 30 minutes a day.....i am starting to feel a little bit better about myself even though i still have a long way to go...some days i feel like i will never see my goal weight and then i sit back and tell myself, "michelle, it has taken you 10 years to put all of the weight on, it is going to take time for you...

Just wanted to drop in to say hello to everyone...have not been on in a couple of days as i have been extremely busy with work...the good news is i am down another pound and a half....i have lost 13 lbs so far....and still holding my head up high...i have not done my measurements since last sunday..so will be doing that again this sunday....will definitely let you all know of any changes or not...wish me luck...well hope your all having a great evening..take care....

So i went ahead and weighed myself today and i am down another pound and a half since thursday...yay....total weight loss to date is now 11 1/2 pounds....i am getting so excited and i even squeezed into my size 18 jeans....i did not have to lay on the bed to zip them which was surprising..but they were still a little tight....hopefully in another couple of weeks..they will be fitting me just fine....

so i have been on the atkins going into my fourth week beginning tomorrow...stupid me, i did not take my initial measurements...i did however decided to do my measurements last Tuesday(5 days ago)....curious to see if i have lost any inches in those 5 days, my husband and i decided to go ahead and take my measurements...i lost 2.25 inches off of my bust...1 inch off of my waist and 2.25 inches off of my hips...i did not take any measurements of my arms, neck or thighs....but i know i must be losing...
