Saying hello...
I did Atkins a year ago and lost 33 pounds and 30" overall...half of what I needed to lose in just over two months. I was feeling and looking better than I had in a LONG time. Went to a wedding in California and blew it. So, instead of coming back home and jumping back in, I decided that I liked M&M's and Root Beer more than being thin and healthy. BAD DECISION.
So, back at 196 pounds on my 5'6" frame, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired yet again. It's hard to work in the health field when you aren't healthy. I feel like a hypocrite.
Today is Day #1 for me and I know I can make it. I was just fine last year with cravings and "will power". I had it all....and I will have it again. Once these first few days pass, I will be on my way.
I don't really have a goal weight...we'll see how I feel as I lose, but I have chosen 136 just to keep the numbers even. It may be 140 or 130 in the end, but the number isn't important to me. It's the way I feel.
I didn't post much last year, just read your posts. This time, I would like to participate more. So, with that, thank you all for the inspiration. Success stories and trial/tribulation stories help more than you know.
