Smile Starting today....

Hi there. Today i am commiting myself to the Atkins WoE. I have tried before, i lost weight, but at the time i was living the university life and it became difficult to stick to it. Especially because my friends didn't support me, and i had to try and do it in secret. This time around i really hope i'll succeed. And with the help of this forum i think i will!!!
My current weight as of today is 186 pounds. My ultimate goal is to reach the 150 mark, but in the meantime my first goal is to lose enough weight to fit into a gorgeous dress i've bought to wear to a wedding in 6 weeks time!!! I think i can do it......!!!! Currently it fits around my waist, i just need to lose some weight off of my top half.

Fingers crossed this will work!!!!

Hey. thanks for the welcome!! I am feeling extremely positive at the moment. I know i can do this. My boyfriend, who lives about 2 hours away, is coming to visit this weekend, which could mess things up for me. I have told him about my new WoE, and he knows that he will be getting a chicken and bacon salad for dinner on friday night, whether he likes it or not!!! I will allow him some bread to go with that, i just hope i can resist.... bread is my downfall.

how does everybody manage to stay on the straight and narrow?

You can resist. Just think of your wedding dress. Little cheats will defeat you in the end so you need to stay focused and motivated. It is hard, but losing weight is hard no matter what plan you are on. The hardest part is to get your mind into it, but once you master that the bread will be easier to resist. Just remember this once you cheat you have to start induction again and who wants to go backwards? Good Luck!
