    New here, saying "hey!"

    Well, I just wanted to say hello. I started Atkins on Thurs. May 18. I followed the plan way back in 2001 & lost about 20 pounds. The weight slowly crept back on over the last few years. I quit my job (teaching) at the end of the school year (June 05) and it hasn't been pretty for my body. As of the 18th, I was at my heaviest weight ever, even beating out my 9 months prego weight! I guess you don't notice so much when you are wearing sweats every day.

    A few weeks ago I started substitute teaching & found that I had no clothes to wear. I was feeling pretty nasty, & decided it was time I started taking care of myself. So, I am back to the one WOE that has ever worked for me! Also, I had my last cigarrette on April 22, 2006!

    Next year will be my 20th H.S. reunion. I want to be healthy & happy by then!

    Anywho, that's the short version...I really just meant to say !

        Indeedy! Hello!

        Great big pat on the back for quitting smoking - I gave up 3 and a half years back and it's the thing I am most proud of.

        What day are you on now? How do you feel?

          How are you finding everything - you should be fully in the throes of ketosis by now, huh?

                welcome unflab !
                wow kicking the smoking at the same time, more power to you! I'd say you should be able to reach your goal easily (the class reunion) and wow them all the way.
                go for it!

                      Re: New here, saying &quot;hey!&quot;

                      Wow! Now I feel better! Thought maybe my first post reeked of cooties or something, hehe.

                      Ok, I told my basic story in the 1st post. I need to lose atleast 50 pounds, but my goal is 67.4, which would put me at an even 130. I am short, only 5'2.5", so really I could go way less. I am creeping on 40 though, so I'm not out to be miss America. I have until June or July of 2007 to do this by the reunion.

                      As of right now:
                      I have now stopped smoking for 1 months, 1 days, 6 hours, 3 minutes, 43 seconds. That translates into 475 cigarettes NOT smoked, for a savings of $118.75! I have increased my life expectancy by 1 days, 15 hours, 35 minutes, 11 seconds.

                      I did take my measurements, but not until I was on day 5. Still glad I got them!

                      Well, thanks very much for the warm welcomes!
