    Hello! Ups & Downs But I Always Come Back

    First of all Congratulations! on your successes, everybody.

    I lost over 25 Lbs. on Atkins, but then lost my way with exercise. I have a problem with motivation. I see a few different forums for challenges, but am not sure which of the forums would be right for me. I want to exercise just once a day for now until my body gets to the point of needing it. I experienced that before and it was great. I need to get back there. I guess I'm hoping someone please direct me to the right challenge forum. Many thanks for your time in reading my post and advise is much appreciated. Have a great one, everybody!

      Hi FoodAddict and welcome to ADBB! Glad you decided to come back to the Atkins way of eating... you've given yourself a wonderful gift by doing so. Also, congrats on wanting to get stuck into regular exercise.

      If you want to start slow and fun...why not join the Pledging Flights challenge, where we climb virtual mountains and buildings. It gets very addictive and you can't help but up your flights to conquer those peaks/roofs!

      Happy low carbing!
      Before and after:

          Hi Foodaddict. For me, the best motivator in my weight loss was having friends here to share my journey with. You'll never have to feel deprived or alone. Start a journal, join the challenges and get active in the forums. As you get to know the people and feel comfortable with your new WOE....this will become a way of life and feel like home! Welcome!!
          Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F



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

              Welcome, FoodAddict. I think the milage challenge is a very easy one for beginners. All you do is commit to how many miles you want to do... whether that's walking, jogging, bike riding, the elliptical -- or a combination of all of them. Then, you go in each day you exercise and report your milage. It's easy!

              Here's the link: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...t=40432&page=1.

              Best of luck to you!

                Hiya! I like the mileage one... but if you're just looking to do *something* every day and don't really know how many miles the time equates to, it's kinda hard to calculate out, and then I'd say join up with the 6WEC, I think they're on Week 2, but I'm sure Skyye would let you in if you asked nicely. You just put down how many days a week you're going to exercise, and then report in daily what you did/didn't do... There's also the Bikini/Trunks challenge which is for 3 hours of cardio, 400 situps/crunches a week, and 102oz water a day... you check in with that one daily as well, and then there are weigh-ins each week, and measurements every 5 weeks...

                  Hello again everyone and thank you for your replies. I feel good and I have a Tony Little's "Gazelle" machine which is like skiing in mid-air and I have an "AB Lounge" too, so I will get busy and get movin'.

                  You are all great motivators and I will make sure to definitely check-in more often.
