Hi All! My name is Tamlyn and today is Day 5 of Induction for me. I've never done Atkins before although my dad has had much success with it. What has really struck me about my journey thus far is the excitement I have for it. I've been finding recipes and actually COOKING
. I've been at 20 carbs every day and haven't really even had the urge to cheat, which is surprising but great!
I definitely have plenty to lose as I'm starting at 277 which is not quite the highest I've been, but my highest weight had to do with carrying a child, so that didn't really count
. I want to get down to 160I haven't started exercising yet, but I have been eating right, taking multi/B/C vitamins and drinking gallons of water, I even stopped taking my Lexapro(which I wasn't really taking right to begin with)without much difficulty - so I really feel committed to this. One habit I haven't kicked yet but have definitely cut back on is my coffee
- I really, really love my coffee and it made me very sad to have to cut back and not look forward to cutting off completely(but I will)...but I'm down from 32 ozs per day to 16 and rather than 9 splendas and a ton of creamer, I do 2 splendas and 2 tbs of creamer - counting it all! So, I'm working with myself to do the best I possibly can and the funny thing is that I am so confident that I can do it!
I've been "lurking" on these board for a few weeks now and you are all amazing! And I think a big part of my commitment and excitement and confidence is due to all of you and the encouragement and advice and success I see from all of you on a daily basis. Each of you are truly wonderful, so thank you!
