Hello

[LifeChange2009]

I would like to join the daily roll call. Started Induction on Jan 21. My starting weight was 228 so I need to lose approx 100lbs. My goal for 2009 is to lose 50lbs.

Re: Hello

I started at 235. I lost down to 175 then STALLED. Granted I cheated and ate bad foods, wouldn't commit to going back on the diet! I got to where I could wear size 14's and shop for regular clothes again and lost the desire to finish it. Now I am back on the diet and will try to use the forums more, especially before I attack any peanutbutter. I haven't lost 100lbs yet. But I did loose 60lbs total, 50 of it on Atkins. 50lbs in a year is very possible. The trick is to eat what's on the diet alot more often than not. Good Luck!

Re: Hello

One more thing. I've realised I'm not perfect. I will gain weight each an every year during the holidays because I will go off the diet. Now if I feel like getting back on the diet, I don't wait and start on a Monday. I don't wait until tomarrow morning even. I just start doing what I'm suppose to right away and keep it up for as long as possible. Yes, its taken me a long time to loose the weight. The breaks I took were breaks I needed. But I keep coming back to the diet and working to keep going in the right direction. I don't make myself feel like a failure when I go off the diet. I just keep coming back to what works. Over and Over and slowly, I'm Winning! Oh so soon you'll be under 200lbs and that feels AWSOME!
