    Two Birds with One Stone.

    Just weighed myself this morning and YESSSSS.. I just met my 2nd goal....

    My doctor also asked me to stop my blood pressure medication, after dropping the dose to half the past 6 weeks or so. (That's my 2nd bird)

    So, not only Atkins is working for my weight loss, blood work, but also for my blood pressure.. Very excited!! (I guess this makes it 3 brids with one stone.. )

    Thanks for everybody's support in this forum. It is a major milestone for me, and I sure would never been able to do it alone. Thanks!

                                                  Here's basically what I'm doing to average a 2-4lb loss each week:
                                                  • Free Weights M, W, F 40 minutes
                                                  • Cardio T, Th, S 90 minutes
                                                  • Average Intake=1300-1400 Average Expenditure=3200
                                                  • Low sodium (attempting - it's really tricky!)
                                                  • Grazing Approach
                                                  • Use of vitamins and whey protein isolate

                                                      I expect these wardrums to heavily awaken me in my sleep,
                                                      Weeping endures but the storms don't last a whole lifetime,
                                                      This ink will seep through this paper, these thoughts will stay deep,
                                                      Like Sam Cooke once sang, change will come, and indeed, it has came at the right time
