Hello there everyone.
I'm sort of new to the forum. Not at all new to weight loss. And I've read up on Atkins plenty.
So here's how my story goes:
I am born. A bouncing, chubby little cherub. I went through my childhood growth spurt. I was thin and athletic (played soccer and volleyball) from the time I was 7 until I was 11. Then I hit puberty and started to pack on the pounds. I didn't make the volleyball team in fall, which made me too out of shape for soccer in the spring. I kept gaining. I loved to eat.
High school rolled around. I wasn't just chubby anymore. I was obese, weighing in at 215 pounds (or thereabouts) from freshman year. Throughout the course of highschool, I several times endeavoured to lose the weight. But only during my senior year was I successful. I lost about 30 pounds and got down to 185 by graduation and prom. No longer obese!
But now, a little over 2 months later, and I've been alternately gaining and losing the same 3 pounds. I'm at 186 today. Counting calories and going to the gym 5-6 days a week ceases to be enough
So I will start cutting carbs as well. I will get past this block. I will lose a few more pounds before college starts. Here I go!
