    New to Adkins after a devestating christmas

    I started adkins on monday after a long weekend of laying around in my PJs. I knew I had gained weight from christmas time and my pants where getting a little tight. I went to get dressed to take my two year old son out to play and realized that my pants almost wouldent button. I zipped them up and I had a muffin top! (when the fat pushes up and ballons over the waist band of your pants. I geuss I hadent noticed before because I had been wearing pants with a stretchy waist band.

    anywhoo I desided I needed to do something and my boyfriend had done adkins a few years ago and lost 90 lbs.

    I cryed and then the next day I started adkins and have been on it a few days now. Ive been trying to follow it exactly and hopefully in two weeks I will see some results.

    As of Monday I weighed: 253.5 not my heavyest but not acceptable either........ My goal is to reach 150 lbs by my birthday which is in november.

    For a more compleate history Ive listed my myspace dieting page.

    .................................................. .................................................. ...

    I found this bullitin board and it seems like it has alot of good information and alot of good memebers. I cant wait to see changes in me and tell you all about it. will keep you updated.

        Welcome Jessica! Glad you decided to join us.

        I'm sure you'll soon be a big loser if you eat right, exercise and drink masses of water.
        There's lots to do here at ADBB... you can start a journal, join an exercise challenge, give and ask for low carb advice, chit chat to your heart's content...

        Have you taken your measurements? I always regret not doing so at the outset, because there are times when we can shed inches before the lbs disappear.

        Happy losing!
        Before and after:






        PLEDGING FLIGHTS
        Completed: 1st set of buildings and mountains (Everest,M.Blanc & Kilimanjaro, twice); Tower Masts & Chimneys; More virtual buildings; Challenger's Choice x 2 (volcanos and mountains on Mars). Currently climbing: Mount Snowdon again: 416/475

        Start 10 Jan 2005. Maintenance since Aug. 2005.
        F/56yrs/5'.4"
        SW:77.7 LW:56.5 CW:60.1 (kilos)

          Hi Jessica. So happy you've joined us. This is definitely the place to find support and encouragment from others who are making this life-style change and want to see you succeed as well. Become active in the forums, make friends with the other members and soon you'll see amazing results. I agree with taking measurements. It is very motivating to see your body melting away as the pounds drop. (and sometimes even when the pounds don't drop)

          Best wishes!!
          Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F



          Dedication gives wings to our dreams and keeps them in flight! In One Word...COMMITTMENT.

                      Hi Jessica! Welcome to the board. So, you're familiar with the Atkins approach to eating and that's really great. Be sure to read around the induction forum, or better yet read the book. YOu will find lots of useful information on the process of weight loss. You've done it before, you will do it again! I wish you much success.
