1 Week In!

[colocali]

Hello! I am about to turn the big 3-0 in a few weeks, and thought that the best present to give myself this year would be the gift of weightloss and looking good. I was a college athlete, and after school the pounds sort of slowly added on over the years. I'm finally completely sick of it (after seeing "200" on the scale) and am completely motivated to lose 50 pounds!

I started Atkins on August 1, and have lost 7 pounds to date. So far so good, my challenges will come with business and social dinners (mostly with wine).

But like I said...I'm motivated!

Welcome to the board, colocali!

You have the motivation and all you need to do now is stick to the plan! As for dinners, have a glass of ice water with a twist. It works, try it!

Good luck to you!
