    Brand new here and to Atkins... before pics

    This is the year. I am tired of shopping plus size, tired of not fitting into clothing right and tired of being tired! I've been obese since my 14yo was born and it is definetely time to be me again! Started dieting at the end of the year and Atkins since the 2nd!

    My last straw was 2 things

    1-getting some clothes from a friend... a friend who i THOUGHT was much bigger than i was... needless to say i cannot fit into her jeans! (Someone must have switched my mirror for a funhouse one!) Im getting into those jeans dammit! And then i'm giving them awy because they will be too big!

    2-Seeing our vacation pics (2 are posted) omg, i am HUGE... no more, it has to go!

    I'm going back to Curves starting Monday and i have a Wii Fit that i use daily.

    Oh... I can't wait for the day that I never have to shop for plus size clothes again! Welcome!! How is the induction going? I started on the 1st. I love induction. I feel so much better already. Isn't the energy great???


    It is nice seeing a picture where I actually have a neck!

      So far so good. It helps that my boyfriend is doing it with me; we usually are on 2 different diets and i think thats why neither of us ever get anywhere with them! I do have a bit more energy! I'm so glad i found this place... i needed recipes bad!

              Welcome aboard! I recently was able to buy a pair of jeans from Wal Mart. ITs the first time that I have been able to buy pants from ANYWHERE other than the big man store. I have to tell you it felt good. I am sure that you will succeed. Good luck and Happy New Year!

                I love the wii fit I use it daily. Its a really fun workout and keeps track of your weight and bmi. you can also lock it so you need a password to see your stats if other family members are using and you don't want them to see your weight.

                  Hiya Hon
                  I'm new here too. I started yesterday (well Monday on the diet) but on the board here yesterday. I have close to 70lbs to go which I guess at the start of any diet seems like so very far away. BUT... I'm already 3 days in, and can't believe that its already been three days. My moto this time is take one day at a time.. as I'm normally impatient and want things so quickly.
                  Just wanted you to know that I had the same experience when a friend suggested I borrow a dress from another girl we worked with (who I always thought was really huge) and I was mortified that my friends thought I could even be compared to her.. It just shows that we really don't see ourselves like other people do.
                  So good luck hon.. I'm with you all the way
                  xx

                    hi syndie and welcome! well, nothing like pictures, huh? i remember the one that kickstarted ME! the cool thing about those photos you hate......you have them to compare your new and healthy body to later on!! you CAN and WILL succeed at this. it is great that you have the support at home but be sure to do it for YOU.

                    please consider coming over to the journal chats forum and starting a journal there. it is lots of fun, helps lots of us feel more accountable and well, we just have a good time over there! hey, it is GREAT that you are going back to curves. that is where i started out with my workout routine. i LOVED it!!!! i have heard some naysayers say that it is not a "real" workout....tell that to the 60" i said "bye bye" to when i went there! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

                    good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

                      Hi there and welcome...I agree with Betsy, you really should consider starting a journal- it REALLY helps. I know a lot of folks who go to Curves and have had great success losing weight. I love our Wii game too-that is a workout in an of itself and it's MAJOR fun to boot.

                        Hi Syndie,

                        Its a shock when you realize exactly how big you are. I cant fit into any of my pre-pregnancy clothes and it does nothing for self esteem.

                        I hope you are doing well in Atkins a few months on. Ive just started but I done it 5 years back and got to my ideal weight.

                        Best of Luck!

                        xXx
