Thumbs up I'm giving Atkins a try!

Hi there,
I'm 36 yrs old and overweight. I had a baby in December 2005 and I managed to take some weight off but it's still a struggle. So last week I had enough and decided to do something about it! I decided to give Atkins a try. I've been on the diet for one week and I've already lost 8 1/2 lbs! My start weight was 219lbs and now I'm 210.5lbs. So my goal right now is to get down to 180lbs and go from there. I definately need some encouragement because everyday is a struggle! Wish me luck!

Pam

Hello there Pam and welcome! Glad you decided to post here on ADBB. You'll find it a wonderful place to come to for support and encouragement.

Congrats on your weight loss so far! If you stay firmly focused on your goal you'll get there before you know it. The right mindset is all important. If you find yourself wavering then rather than focusing on what you crave, think instead of how horrid you'll feel just two seconds after eating it, and how wonderful you'll feel when you reach your goal (and trust me, that feeling is totally awesome).

Happy losing!

Hi, Pam! Welcome to the board

Sounds like you and I are close in weight; but of course, my babies are <a-hem> 8 and 11 .

One thing to keep in mind when begining Atkins is that this is a way of eating for life with learning how to listen to your body for what foods it needs to be healthy, lose weight, and enjoy things around you. Best of all...enjoy playing with your food!

Best wishes on your journey!

welcome to the board, there is a wealth of knowledge here and if you feel down during your journey, don't sweat it...actually go ahead and sweat it but in a good way.

this board is full of info, any questions just feel free to ask.
