 Re: Hey there guys! Welcome Mandy! You've found the right place. I can remember back in the day when I was in high school my dad doing Atkins after a stroke. The weight melted off of him. I sure wish it would do the same for me, ha! I see you're in FL too. How do you like it? Looks like you're near the beach, that's awesome. Congrats on your recent marriage!!!  I can use all of the exercise tips you've got girl, how do I fit exercising in my life? If you read my journal chat, then you can tell how hectic my life really is. Have you read DANDR, the book? The book can give lots of insight and the correct order to do everything, I know you're a pro at this and all, but the book is helpful. Good luck Mandy, you'll do great!!!

| Re: Hey there guys! Thanks everyone!! I'm excited about this.. because you know how you ALREADY know you're gunna be looking better and feeling better in just a couple weeks.. just makes me all excited! haha  Wish you all a great week! And for my secret tip for exercising: ..that I learned was... make it fun! Skip the gym, skip the lonely walks.. and find something fun. Maybe rollerblading is for you.. or even Tennis, kayaking,swimming... maybe just playing hide n seek with the kids..or dancing around in undies to miss gloria estefan's "The Rhythms Gunna getcha"... haha whatever it may be, Just make sure its something you enjoy

| Re: Hey there guys! Hey Mandy! Welcome to the board! I'm sure it's hard with your husband gone. He's going to be very surprised by your weight loss when he returns. You've done this before, you CAN do it again! You will make plenty of friends on the board. You might want to consider starting a journal for yourself at Journal Chats. A great group of people are there, including other military wives.
