Ok....here I go.....I am looking to lose 20lbs.....that would put me where I think I want to be. I am 53 years young, 5'3", weigh 160lbs. Ok...I am going to go for the 20, then see how I feel, if I need to lose more, I will decide at that point.

I am a single, professional woman, mother of 3 great adults and grandmother to a gorgeous 2 yearold. I want to be around a long time, have lots to do yet.

But...I have been struggling, I am in a temp job in a city I don't want to be in, I resort to eating things I shouldn't. I would appreciate reminders and/or check ups from any or all of you while I get into a better eating habits. Accountibility....that is the toughest when living on one's own.




Thanks
Diana

Hi there Diana and welcome to the ADBB! Glad you found us here and decided to join in the high jinks!

I do so agree that accountability is tough when on one's own; also... many of us know all about the "comfort eating" thing too... a habit which needs to be consciously broken by finding other distractions (like taking a walk... or other things when the blues hit). Anyway, you seem to be in the right mindset now and ready for success.

Ask any questions you might have. We're all rooting for you.

Happy Atkineering!

Hey Diana, sounds like you have a positive firm grip on what you want and KNOW THIS, at the end of one week, if you stick to plan, you will be in ketosis and feel amazingly great, powerful, energized and satisfied...with the foods and a whole new sense of ability will be yours! It's true, very very true...Atkins has an amazing ability to really relieve the sugar symptoms and replace them with the ketosis-symptoms of energy, diminished appetite, and reduced cravings...Most of us kick ourselves for not staying on plan or taking so long to return...
Embrace today! You are on your way!
