So, I did Atkins about 6 years ago and lost 30 pounds. However, I got involved with an old flame who tapped into my insecure "you don't deserve to be loved" side and, guess what, the pounds came back on. Grrrrrr. So, slowly over the past 2 years, I lost 20 pounds. Then in February, I decided to hop back on the Atkins bandwagon. Well, 17 pounds are off and gone and down the drain! So is the old flame!!! 
I had an interesting episode of induction flu (really wigged me out!), but generally feel fantastic. The funny thing is I had the "flu" this week! Weird. When I wanted to start eating again, I was craving eggs, then ground beef! Hysterical! Today I was eating a turkey burger and could only eat half. In fact, I feel a little bloaty. Anyone else experience this? And I experienced quite the "whoosie" this week too - 10 pounds!
My mini-goal is 200 pounds, hopefully by the end of April. My final destination will probably be in the 160 to 170 range. I will have to see how I feel and how I look. I'm a tall girl, so if I fall too low on the scale, I start to look all Mary-Kate Olson (not a good look on me!). I just need to exercise more and more and more!! Anything would be better than nothing!
I've been reading a lot of posts on ADBB, which have been extremely helpful. There are oodles of wonderful people here - some absolutely stunningly gorgeous folks! You give me loads of information, support, and love. I feel like this board is my life-line and support system. So, a big thanks!
Big love until next time!
