    Celebrating 81 pounds gone forever!!

    It's hard to believe that I am only 19 pounds away from my goal weight. Imagine that! And just to think that a year ago I was 81 pounds heavier.

    WOW! It just blows my mind!

    Anyway, I just thought I would post my before and after's here for those of you that I have never met. I'm hoping that this can inspire you to make Atkins your WOL once and forever. Check this out............



    This was me at 265 pounds. Today I'm 184.

                  Hi Jenn. I started off doing 20 minutes on my eliptical 4-5 times a week. I couldn't go to the gym cuz I had a little baby and then I just found it too expensive. Anyway, after about 2 weeks, I moved up to 30 minutes 5 times a week (no less than that). After a month, I started doing 5-6 times a week and started to combine other excersises. I was doing jump rope, crunches, upper body workouts with my resistance bands and little things like that. After a few months, I tried the Billy Blanks Taebo videos. I only do those once in a while. I go on walks as often as I can, regarding of what type of workout I did during the day. Now a days, since I went back to work after a whole year off, I only workout 4 times a week. I recent not being able to do more because of the lack of time, but as long as I get my 4 workouts a week, that should keep me healthy. Well that, and eating right ofcourse. Hope that helps.
