Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here

as one who typically does not make resolutions... I am now making a resolution to make resolutions in my life. I intend on challenging myself by practical and some not so practical goal setting... you know... like dangling the so called carrot in front of the rabbit. I have lived safe for years and well... if I have learned one thing over the last year its that stepping out of the comfort zone I set for my self as an obese woman has allowed me to drop alot of weight... physically speaking, mentally speaking, emotionally speaking AND spiritually speaking.

I resolve to eliminate the rest of the negative self speak and negative influences in my every day life. I will remove certian non productive friends from my facebook, I will, finally close the chapter on a few relaionships with friends who are not friends. I will work on my inner dialogue that says I am fat and disgusting....

I have on my wall above my desk this mantra....

I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy.
Absolute fact.

I will read this and claim it every single day this year.

I would love to hear what some others here use as a personal Mantra!

Good luck to you all!

I am making a goal this year to live in the moment each day and focus on making "healthy" a way of life, rather than a program to get to my goal.

In an effort to KISS (Keep It Simple, Silly), my focus in 2009 is to reach my goal (so near and yet ... so far ) and maintain it through healthy eating habits and regular exercise (for me, walking five to six days a week, either outdoors or on a treadmill at the gym). I also resolve to live in the moment ... the past is done, and the future is uncertain ... we only have the now. Might as well enjoy it! Happy New Year, everyone!

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here

I have been thinking about it. Want to make resolutions that I can keep and yet would make a difference.
*I will eat more vegetables. It is too tempting to get carbs from all over the place but I know that vegetables have to be the key to what I eat
* I will drink my water. I still go for decaf a lot and it interferes with my water drinking
* I will continue to try to reduce mindless snacking (even if that means watching less food network shows)
* I will not listen to my own silly excuses. I know I can talk myself out of anything (like exercise) but I will continue to sign up for challenges here so that I stick with it.

I have 59 pounds to lose, which seems impossible.

My new years resolution is to lose two pounds. Then to lose another two pounds, etc. and so on, until the amount reaches 59 pounds. I am not going to give up this time, and I think losing two pounds is a do-able thing! I am setting my mini goals at five pounds and am not setting a date to reach them, but will be very grateful when I do.

I also resolve to get back on my Gazelle at least 3 times a week!!

Once I get past my move - get back to recording what I eat and move up the OWL ladder and so on...

My New Year's Atkins Resolution is to get back on plan. Refocus on firming up an exercise regime, and keep tabs on everything that enters my mouth! I would also like to set myself a mini goal of losing 20 lbs, by Feb 26, when we leave for our cruise!

Happy New Year!!! My resolution is to stay on coure and commit to the Atkins Diet as I did in 2003 when I had the pleasure to meet Dr Atkins and his wife Veronica. My weight is now 227 and my goal is 157. I know I can do it!

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here

So tell us a bit about your meeting with Atkins. What was the occasion?

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here

Short-term goal: To run a 15k on Feb 28. For those who don't know, I had MAJOR foot surgery in August 08 and am S L O W L Y coming back to being a full-fledged runner again, so trust me, running 9.3 miles on 2/28 will be a major challenge...

Long-term goal: To run the Tampa marathon in 2010. Yes, that's 26.2 miles, and I'll be 54 years old on that day.

Re: New Year's Atkins Resolutions - list them here

Well, have reached my first goal which was to move out, in the hope that it will also aid my weight loss journey. I plan to exercise more, so have joined the gym at work...so no excuses about time/resources; I want to further immerse myself in studying all that there is to know about Atkin's and the low carb lifestyle in general; I hope to be a better worker....be more self-disciplined and motivated at my new job. To give more of my time and resources by volunteering/charity work.

I actually have a pretty long list.....
