Re: 1 Year STAC Atkinsversary

Thanks everyone! I really feel pumped up and ready to go. Last year I had motivation, obviously, but I had a long journey ahead. I was 268 lbs, size 22, felt like crap, addicted to carbohydrates and feeling a bit of dread, a bit of fear. Today, I'm within 10 lbs of my scale goal, within 3% of my body fat goal, exercising...so its definitely a totally different perspective.

this actually brings tears to my eyes, because i am right now where you were when you started, and it makes me believe that i can do it, too. thank you so much for the inspiring posts and pictures - you look really fantastic!

Re: 1 Year STAC Atkinsversary

The best advice I can give anyone who is willing to listen is:
1) Follow the book, don't try to do it "your way"
2) Drink water, water, water
3) Get up and move. Do SOMETHING even if it's for a couple minutes. Getting up off the couch (or computer chair) is 90% of the battle for most of us.
4) Keep your food interesting--seek out new recipes so you don't get bored or feel sorry for yourself.
