Eat Drink and be Merry for tomorrow you may diet.

Hey Everyone!!!

So glad to be here. This is the final leg of my weight loss journey. I used to weigh 210 pounds after the birth of my first child. I succeeded in losing 50 pounds after that but also succeeded in gaining 40 of it back. Had my second child and didn't gain any. Had my third child and joined LA Weight loss. Lost 40 pounds gained 10. Got a divorce. Joined Slim4life and lost 30 gained 15. I am currently 157... well after tonight's indulgence... probably 159.

I have done the Atkins plan before with great results, I'm only concerned about the carb cravings as they have killed me before. I would ultimately like to be 115. I am 5'3" tall. I do realize this may be kind of a high expectation so I also have a pair of size 5 pants that I will use as an ending point. Whichever comes first 115 or the pants... I will stop there.

So long Little Debbie, farewell my love. So long Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory... So long spare tire... I won't miss you.

I'm planning on going to the Bahamas in January and I am Bikini bound. As this board as my witness... I will wear a bikini in January!!!!

Hi Bikinibound, with that attitude, you will do it! Keep it up and you are on your way. The anti-Atkins attitudes are out there but there is plenty of evidence here to stop the nay-sayers. Wish you well in your journey

Welcome Bikinibound,
This is a very supportive site, with loads of information and recipes, plus if you've got a question, someone here will most likely have an answer!

Good luck, and remember on Atkins you will still be able to 'Eat, Drink (well as long as it's water!!) and be Merry!

Pat

WAY to GO!!! I know you can do it.

Anyone who can bid farewell to Little Debbie AND the Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory has the right kind of motivation!!
I am right there with you.

Ahhh... Reeses Big Cup, my fondest friend of late.
Also friendly, fun loving Cheeze-its.
