Hey Newbie Here

[Moonie133]

Hey, I'm really excited to find a place that has so many people to help support you on this diet. I did Atkins once before about 2 years ago when I was 20 and lost 50 lbs, but of course being young and turning 21 I gained back about 40. So now I am back on Atkins. This time around though I'm not looking at it like a diet but a lifestyle change and so far...well truthfully that hasn't helped at all because I'm only 1 week in and pretty misserable, but I know it will get easier.
my stats are
Current weight: 270
Goal weight: 150

AHHHHHH!!!!!! I have a lot of work to do LOL

I am exercising, I go hiking every weekend and I walk on the tredmill 4 times a week (OK OK 3 times a week, but sometimes 4). And I am a total water freak, I must drink atleast a gallon a day (my ONE good habit).

Well I hope to get to know you all, I know I will need the support.

Hi Moonie and welcome to and back to Atkins!

It sounds like you've developed some great exercise habits already, that's awesome! And I LOVE to hike too, whoohoo!

This place is the best for support! See you around the board!

So how's it going? You gave me some encouragement earlier and it sounds like we're about at the same point of starting. Hope you're feeling motivated and staying strong. You sound very motivated about exercise and water...I struggle with both of those, so I commend you!!! Keep up the good work!!! Carol S.
