Second time around

[whereami]

Well this time its for good i hope....i really want to lose this weight but actually felt i was gonna binge a couple of minutes ago but i made myself some eggs and chugged dwn some water and feel better.

Im a mom to five youngest dear daughter is almst 4 months and i started feelng i must get moving on weight loss.

I have started exercising too....I am trying to strength train i guess -- i did upper bdy today which was three exercises for the arms - backside front side and the side...lol and one for the chest area and one for the abs...i used cans of soup that weigh almost a half kilo until i buy weights and i used my abdomenizer for the abs exercise....and then 20 minutes of cardio.

Wish me luck - I hope i can hang in there and do it right for once.

Hi all -

I've only been posting sporadically so I thought I'd check in and let you guys know what's going on.

My mom has been hospitalized and I am flying back and forth between my home in California and her place in New York, trying to balance both lives. So far, so good. She's getting better, but it will be a long recovery.

I am absolutely on track food wise, no problems at all. I have cut out a fair amount of dairy just because I've been battling a cold, and that seems to help with the snot problem! I'm trying to get exercise when I can, and when I'm not flying, I'm doing long walks.

I am so busy trying to be two places at once that I don't always remember to post here, but rest assured I'm still a stacker.

Aloha Whereami and welcome!
Four children, what a blessing! I started Atkins the first time about 4 months after the birth of my youngest son. It really worked well.
You are going through the toughest part, induction. Making the transition to burning fat for energy.
Your doing great! It is normal to have cravings and carb-withdrawal when you begin. You are doing just the right thing in response. Eggs and water! I love it.
I'm about a month ahead of you.
Keep checking in with us.

Aloha whereami,
I remember that feeling!! In a day or two you will be through it and you'll feel great.
You are doing the right thing to take vitamins. Also, drink water.
An evening walk might also help. Plus SLEEP.
Remember -- you are going through DETOX and your body knows it. It does not last forever.
Hula

Welcome to STAC! If you can do all that with 5 kidlets, my hat is off to you! Just hang in there and the feeling bad will be gone.

Sunny!
