Default Hi!

Hi! This is the first time I am trying Atkins. I am a Mother to 2 precious boys 2 & 6. We are going to Disney in August and I am determined to lose at least 25 lbs by then. I've never been in a public pool because I am embarrassed by my weight and that's going to change now. I'm tired of making excuses to my 6 year old of why we can't go to the pool. I will not let my weight prevent me from living!!! It's time that I start a healthy lifestyle for myself.

My sister is doing Atkins and is doing great! I'm so proud of my little sis! I've decided to join her on this journey. Even though we live in different states, we can do this together. Thanks sis .

Today is my first day and I'm excited to start. I know it will be difficult but I am determined to be the person I was meant to be.

Michelle

Warm welcome to you Michelle! I'm sure you'll find this is a great place for friendship, good low carb advice and inspiration.

If you focus firmly on your goal, you'll be in that Disney pool in August, I'd be willing to bet.
Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have, or holler if you need a helping hand.
We're behind you all the way!

Hi Michelle.. One thing I always told my mil about the pool was to look around and see that all women have different shapes.. There are very tasteful bathing suits out there for overweight women.. Even I have a nice bathing suit and I have over a 100lbs to lose.. Slip on that suit and shorts and go have fun with the kids
