Hi Everyone!
My husband and I went on the atkins diet about 2 months ago. I've lost 35.5 pounds since then. I have done the diet before, but had to stop due to my pregnancies, so now, I'm ready to lose the weight. We don't want anymore children, right now...maybe later, if I can talk my husband into it.
So, I am so motivated to stick with this low carb lifestyle. I have almost got the entire church on this diet, so it's so exciting that other family members and friends are doing it right along with us. We can all share great recipes and encourage each other.
The only problem is that I haven't started exercising yet. I know that I need to so badly, but I keep making excuses. I don't want to be a skinny fat, or someone who has a lot of flab hanging. I want to be tight and curvy, so if any of you pros want to give some advice of how I should start my exercising routine, please let me know! I have 2 little kids (almost 4 years old and a 4 month old). My husband doesn't have a lot of weight to lose, maybe 20 lbs, but I think if he started exercising he would tone up and look really good. I don't want him to be a skinny scroney (sp?) man, but a thick and strong looking man and I'm afraid that if he doesn't start exercising and weight lifting, his age is going to work against him, since he's on this low carb diet with me, and then he's going to look too puney.
He used to be a marine so the thought of running or doing strenuous exercise is not a priority for him. He hates the hot weather down here in Florida, so now that it's getting hotter, it's even harder to get him to want to do anything out in the heat. He's a soccer coach, so he gets out and is active, but it's not enough to show results.
SO GIVE ME SOME IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS. I need to get moving and so does my husband....we're very busy and have short time, so we need a plan that will work for us!
Thank you!
