Hi Y'all

[holtville]

Just wanted to introduce myself, I found this board months ago and it has been a Godsend. I have been lurking around and enjoying the recipes and advice to others. I started Atkins Jan.2, 2007 weighing in at a whopping 238lbs. I was miserable. I currently weigh 201lbs. that's the smallest I've been in forever. I have gone from size 22/24 to 16/18. For those just starting this really works. I am 48 years old, mother of 2, grandmother of 2 precious little girls. Which I keep everyday so my time to browse is limited they are 2 years old and 3 months old needless to say they keep me hoppin. I have tried every diet out there spent more money than I care to think about on products. But I got to the point something had to give. I bought the Book and was excited to see all that I could eat. Something clicked this time I realized if I kept doing what I had been doing I was going to keep gettin the same results. It is very clear to me now that I will never be able to return I am very carb sensitive. I do know that "just one bite" will hurt and it's not worth it. I'm glad I found you and I'm glad to be on board.

Hi Holtville, Welcome! You are doing so great. There's someone that I look up to that says ,"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten". That's so great that clicked with you. Keep posting and let us know how you're doing. Look forward to hearing about your ongoing success. Best of health to you dear.

Hello there Holtville and welcome! Glad you de-lurked and joined the fun actively. Thanks for sharing the story of your great success so far. Inspiring!
I'm sure your two grandkids do keep you hopping. They must be a great way to exercise! Do you do any other exercise routines as well?

Happy Atkineering!

Thought I'd check in while I had both kids down for a nap at the same time. That's a miracle in it's self. Thank you for the comments and support. To answer Sally's question, yes I run/walk 2 miles first thing every morning before the kids get here weather permitting. If not I have plenty of work videos and also us weights.
