Default I'm bring sexy back - the Atkins way!

I have read somewhere that as a returning Atkineer that I should post in the Second Time Around forum. I couldn't find it so I'm coming here to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Stephanie and I'm tired of being fat! I did Atkins back in 04 and did very well but didn't stick to the plan and move up the rungs accordingly. It is so easy to fall of the wagon. Well now I'm heavier than I have ever been. When I look in the mirror I see that I am big but I don't realize just how big I am until I see someone who is similiar in size as me. I always say.."do I really look like that". I must! And now I'm going to do something about it! I will be finishing my Masters degree in 9 months and I would like nothing more than to be at my goal weight. My plan is to celebrate my graduation by taking a trip to Fiji and how awesome would it be if I could wear a bikini while I was there!

Last night.. my daughter who is a big jokester like me... had the vocabulary word EPIC. One of the definitions was that it meant larger than ordinary. She had to use the word in a sentence. I told her to think of something that was larger than normal... and she said she was going to write a sentence about my BUTT! Can you believe it! I know she was trying to be funny.. but I still felt a little sting! Her friends always talk about my "ghetto booty". They say white girls aren't suppose to have a big butt like mine. Sometimes I take it as compliment... but not often!

I am on day 5 of induction and have lost 4.8 lbs. I am taking my measurements tomorrow as I have read in several places that that is the best thing to do since the scale won't always be moving. I am super motivated by #'s so measurements might be the way to go.

I thoroughly appreciated the support I got in here before and look forward to interacting with you all again!

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie -

ummm - maybe one day your daughter can use "EPIC" in a sentence that says

"I'm proud of my mom, she's lost an EPIC amount of weight. I am also so EPICALLY sorry that I said that comment about her butt."

A huge EPIC welcome

I love made up words to use when I don't want to use proper grammar! I'm gonna have to use that one with my wordsmith sisters! Love it!
