Just starting out !

[Lynda_M]

Hello Everyone,

I am looking forward to getting to know you ! I am just starting Atkins today. I have a LONG journey ahead of me! Goal to lose 119 pounds more or less

Lowest weight I remember weighing as an Adult was 155 pounds that was in 1994 right after I had a baby ! I now weight 274 pounds ! The MOST I have weighed EVER in my life ! I went to the Doctor for a check up & realized that I gained 30 pounds in the past 3 years. I realized that if I keep it up I will be over 300 pounds in no time ! Scared me half to death !

I really want to be a happy healthy weight again ! My goal is 155 Pounds- by when you ask ? ASAP !
I read a bunch of info & bought the necessary food in order to prepare This Morning I woke up made myself a steak & eggs with some veggies for breakfast. I brought snacks & a salad to work for lunch.


I HOPE I am able to to it because today, the FIRST day I cheated I ate a bagel & cream cheese ! I don't even know why I did it ? It was given to us at work ! I was not even hungry !?! Anyways I feel bad now
My Sister emailed me this site & I decided that I am going to sign up & get involved in anyway I can !
Looking forward to your help & helping you in this journey.

Very new to this site still exploring

Those work situations can be disastrous so it helps to always have some legal snacks on hand to get you through them.

There are lots of recipes on this site and on Linda's Low Carb recipes plus ideas for snacks to carry with you, so look around and check them out.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

Welcome, Lynda,

So glad your sister told you how to get here.

As blueberrylady said, keeping legal snacks in your purse or easily available at work will help a LOT when there is illegal food all around you.

Better luck today!
