    Help!! I need an Atkins buddy!

    I have finally decided that if I really want to make this work I have actually participate just like everyone else. I really need someone to kick me in the butt when I need it--which is often. My husband i doing Atkins also, but we tend to but heads from time to time on what is best for me. I have a lot more weight to lose than he does, and I can't make him grasp the fact that just because it works for him doesn't mean it will work for me. Anyway, I restarted October 29th, and honestly haven't been 100%. So, I need help!! I guess I am trying to get my foot in the door. I read posts everyday, but never post any of my own. That is my new goal. To post everyday and try to be more involved. Considering what a motormouth I am, that shouldn't be a problem!! Looking forward to hearing from everyone!!

      Hi Brandy. My name is Brandy too but everyone calls me by my nickname Mothette.

      Wow, you've already lost 18 pounds! That's great. I am so proud of you. I started on 9/21/07 a whole month before you and you've already lost as much as I have.

      I think it's nice that your honey is doing this with you. I'm sure it can be frustrating though. My honey lost weight and is skinny as a rail these days. He can't afford to lose any more. In fact, doc wants him to gain. So we are trying to help him find what I've lost and with him eating differently it makes it much harder on me.

      I don't get online as much as some of the other people and so I probably wouldn't be a good buddy, I'm sure you'll find a good one here though. They've all helped me so much. But I will do what I can to help encourage you.

      You really are doing a great job.
      Mothette
      I just need to be one of those people
      who do this the right way.




      (This is just my first goal. I got lots more to lose.)

            Hi Brandy! Congratulations for posting!!!! yeah!!! and for losing 10lbs! Great job! Yes, it is hard with husbands who skip lunch and lose 5 lbs! sheesh! so not fair how much easier it is for them! My suggestion for you is to come in here oftain, join some exersize challenges, and start a journal, and post everyday! I find it keeps me grounded and coming back to my senses on a daily basis. There is lots of good information here and wonderful people to help! It has been very motivational for me. I've never stuck to a 'diet' this long in my life!
            Looking forward to see you around the board!

              Thanks so much everyone!! There are so many inspirational people on here, hopefully soon I will be one of them. Good luck to everyone--especially tomorrow, which I hope won't be too hard for me. Luckily, we are not cooking this year, we are going out to dinner, so at least there won't be any leftovers!

                I'm here every day. As to butt-kicking--I can do that! I am supportive, but not an enabler. I've lost 120 pounds and need to lose more, and I can't take any short-cuts, make any excuses (even though I have some valid ones), have pity parties or any of the other things that made me fat for so many years. I can have excuses or I can have results, but I can't have both! Same goes for you. Come join us on the "How Long Can You go" (cheat-free) challenge and we will praise you or kick your butt, whichever you need, but we will always support you. Here's the link:

                          Thanks for checking on me Marty. I am doing good. Having a little trouble planning ahead, and I've missed my walk for the last few days. It finally decided to get cold in Texas, or cold to me anyway. I guess I need to dust off the treadmill. We have family coming to visit Thursday and that's starting to stress me out a little, but I think it will be okay as long as I can pass up the margaritas when we go out to dinner this weekend!! Thanks again.

                            How did your weekend go with your visitors.... Did you manage to skip the Margarita's?? I know that is a hard one for me... any other alchol I can skip but my Margarita's.... not so much.. I found a website off of this one that has sugar free Margarita's that aren't too bad. I needed to put in twice the amount of powder but that still makes 5 drinks for 5.00 (+ ship/handling)... Let me know if your interested and I'll give you the website.
