  • Just to introduce myself.

    Hi,
    My name is Jack from Holland MA. I'm 47 years old. I have been doing Atkis for about 8 weeks and stumbled upon this bulletin board about 2 weeks ago.
    I am and avid Hiker and skiier and generally an outdoors person.
    I have found this board to be very inspiring, and look foward to the
    motivation I can gain by reading the various topics and threads generated here.
    I am 5'6" and started at 215 lbs. I am currently 200lbs. My goal is 175lbs.
    I am currently section hiking the Long trail in Vermont, which goes from the MA border to the Canadian border along the spine of the Green Mountains.
    I hiked 103.9 miles of it last September and was not in optimal shape at
    about 200lbs. I really want to get to goal by late August so I can complete the
    168 miles I have left in September and be optimal shape. (my knees would really appreciate it). I am looking foward to doing a "clean induction" and maybe getting signed up for a Boot camp to jump start my program.
    Have a good one.
    Jack W.

        Jack,

        Welcome! I can relate to your knees looking forward to a little less weight to carry. My feet and heels are complaining (I've already seen a podiatrist and got some help) and I know that less weight pounding on my feet when I run would do wonders. Especially in our 40's, every little bit helps to make our active lifestyles more comfortable!

              Hi Jack and welcome to ADBB and Atkins!

              What an awesome goal! I love hiking too!

              As for Boot Camp, one just started, another is scheduled to begin in July though.

              Hope to see you around the board!

                Welcome
                Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
                he said, 'Don't count calories.'

                Male 6 ft 3in 60 years old. Married 28 years.
                Began Atkins March 04 at 260lb, reduced to 203lb by April 07 and maintained.

                Atkins makes exercise mandatory - I took up cycling - see last pics at 203lb.

                  Thanks for the well wishes everyone.
                  One thing is for sure...were all in the same boat on the same crusade to succeed at weight loss!
