Hi everyone,
I discovered ADBB a few weeks ago and have lurked a bit off and on while trying to decide if I was finally going to start Atkins for the last time and succeed at losing this weight once and for all. I've waffled back and forth between which plan (WW, BFL, Atkins, etc) to choose to lose the weight and I keep coming back to really wanting what Atkins offers. Control of my cravings, tasty food choices, ketosis!, and some pretty effective weight loss if the regulars here are any evidence. I've been doing the "gonna start tomorrow, Monday, after such and such an event" cycle for months now and I'm only getting fatter.
It's time. It just is. There is nothing particularly special about tomorrow, except that it is the first day of my being fit and healthy. I hope to come here often for support, I know I'll need it. This seems like an awesome community from what I've seen the few times I've popped on to read a thread or two. Wish me luck!
(Oh and my username was chosen to remind me that I want my two little girls to grow up seeing a model of womanhood who is healthy, beautiful and fit! I want them to love their bodies and to love exercise and good, nutritious foods. I also have a son, but I particularly want to win this battle "For my girls")
My starting weight is 225lbs. My bodyfat % is around 41%. So that puts my LBM at 132. I want to be under 21% BF so I'm putting my goal weight at 160 lbs. I'm 5'7" and I think I'll look awesome at that weight. I've never really been fit, so I just don't know how I'll look at different weights. It's been so long since I was even under 200lbs. 3 babies and 5 years ago at least!
So off I go......
