The Cool Black Chick is Here!
Hi all!
I started Atkins BY ACCIDENT on Easter 2005. I was SO anti-Atkins and very skeptical when a pro-Atkins friend basically said,"Ok. Do not do the 'Atkins diet', however, just eat what I eat and let me choose your meals for the next couple of days." I said yes because I had nothing to lose, right? WRONG! I lost 70lbs in a matter of months. I went from 210lbs to 140lbs!
The reason I'm here is because I did not exercise much during this process. (I know, I know. Exercise is not an option). After loosing the last 20lbs or so, I became flabby. I now have Rolly Thighs and Wavin' Oprah Arms. My clothes disguise a LOT of this, but now its summer....swimsuits and such...
I have been exercising regularly for about 2 months now. I hate all exercise except lifting weights HEAVILY. Because of scheduling issues, I will not be able to join the gym for another 2-3 mos. In the mean time, I walk. I'm learning to rollerblade, doing water aerobics, pushups, situps, etc., and will soon add bike riding to this. I have started collecting exercise videos to fight the boredom of exercise.
Boredom is my worst enemy when it comes to exercising. Good God, Taebo works! When I was heavy, I could not get through the complete workouts.
I guess I'm here because I have found that when you lose weight, your 'friends' and family can be big obstacles and not very supportive.
I need support to continue to exercise. Atkins really has changed my life in so many positive ways.
I started a daily exercise journal a couple of days ago. I'm learning that if I miss a day or two of exercise, just hop back on the horse and keep riding and don't give up. This lesson is invaluable!
Atkins rock!
Oh yeah...That really IS me in my avatar. Not!
