Default 20 lbs down!

Well, I started this WOE on June 1st. I can't say it has been easy, but in a month, I have lost 20 lbs! I started at 200 lbs and am now 180 lbs. I am so pleased with myself for sticking with this. There are so many things that I've started to do and then given up on. I was worried that I'd do this "diet" for a few weeks and then bail out. I haven't and to me, it's not a "diet" any more, it is a complete lifestyle change. Growing up, my mom would tell me that I needed to lose weight. She always focused on a really low-fat, high carb diet. She thought that eggs and cheese were BAD, but that low-fat crackers, fruit and baked potatoes were HEALTHY! Ahhhh...no wonder I always struggled with weight as a teen.
I really feel that I have discovered a completely new way of life that WORKS for me! Although I have had opposition from friends and relatives (they say, "Atkins is so unhealthy!), I know that, for me, this is the most effective way for me to lose and maintain my weight. I'm going to be realistic here, though. That does not mean that I will NEVER eat another piece of Pizza Hut pizza again (my favorite!)...it will be awhile until I do, but when I do it will be a rare occassion and I will enjoy it to the fullest without feeling guilty like I did before!

I am training for a 5K in September. I have barely run at all before and am starting to build up. I'm excited, and looking forward to acheiving all my goals!

Thank you so much for the support here! It really has been what has kept me going!!

Congratulations on your weightloss.. I think once you get further along you will find an alternative crust then Pizza Huts and you will learn to love it.. When you try to go back to Pizza hut it will hurt your tummy and you won't want it as much as you think
