Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Okay here I am. I had a VERY VERY VERY bad week for my exercise/eating goals and it started when I was just starting to see results. I don't know why or what did me in exactly but can I blame my dh??? Anyway I'm starting over again I think for the 5th time and am very happy to have this challenge-I need some accountability and somebody to kick me in the butt if I mess up. So please don't be nice to me I'm in need of some serious butt kicking.

Here are my goals:

• Exercise 5 days a week for 45 minutes
• daily meditation to stay on track
• As a newbie I would like to commit to extended induction for 4 weeks to gain control of my eating habits before moving to OWL. Week 4-6, depending on how I feel, I will start OWL.
• Drink 90 oz of water a day
• No diet pepsi, or other diet soda.
• Take my vitamins

Measurements:
5'3"
weight around 200 (my scale is off but it's between 195-200)
Waist: 41"
Hips: 50"
Gut:49" [
L thigh: 26.6"
L upper arm: 16"
L calf: 16.5"
R thigh: 27"
R upper arm: 16"
R calf: 16"
Chest: 46"

I will post my pictures before the end of the day.

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Ok! Baarb gave me the link to this cahllenge and I thank her very much. I'm sitting here listening to Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen as I type this. Ironic or a sign? You can be the judge. No wonder I don't look right in my clothes!! I'm totally out of proportion! I gotta laugh or I'll cry. I did laugh when I weighed in this morning. My scale is WW scale!!! I took my measurements just a little while ago. I can see someone out there trying to imagine what big ole' Miss looks like. Yeah I know no one has that kinda time,I'm just warped. But let me save you some time just incase......DON'T! It's not a pretty sight. OK...here they are:

Height 5'7"
Weight 178.0
Neck 14 1/2"
Chest 41"
Waist 38"
Abs 36"
Hips 41 1/2"
Thigh 24 1/2" (Col. Sanders would be drooling)
Knee 15"
Calf 14 1/2"
Arm 14 1/2"
Forearm 11"
Wrist 6 1/2"

Keep me going guys and gals!! I really need you. I don't think I could do this on my own!

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Good luck!
I too am VERY excited!!

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

HG, I'm afraid that I must drop out of your challenge this month. Very sorry! I injured my right knee this morning and I'm hobbling on crutches. I see the doctor tomorrow, but I doubt that I'll be able to do much in the way of exercises anytime soon.

So, even though I'm not in the challenge anymore, I'm cheering for everyone to do very well! Good luck all!
