Good Morning everyone Today is my official weigh and measure day. Drum roll please I am now at my goal of weight of 125 woohoo. This sure is a nice place to be. When I started atkins I weight 148 pounds with a body fat of 39.9% . Today I have reached my goal weight of 125 pounds and my body fat has dropped down to 21.3%. I only found this board just over 2 months ago I wish I had found you all sooner. Joining this board has helped me lose the last 5 pounds I had been struggling with. I know all the exercise challanges I have joined here played a big part in achieving my goal weight. What I am most proud of though is not reaching my goal weight it is the example I have been setting for my grand children. All thiere parents are over weight but when they come here they love to work out with me. They are always inventing new ways to use my exercise equiptment. Some times I even take them to classes at the gym with me. They are always asking my for bottles of water which I send home with them. I encourage them to try new foods when they are here they affectionally call it sugar pies ( thats what they all call me instead of grandma lol) one bite rule. They have to try one bite and if they hate it they can spit it out. Most of the time the love it and now they bug thier parents for things like spinach and baby carots. I realy hope the example I am setting for them will help them to make healthier life style chocies.
