Hello Everyone
I was so inspired by the before and after pictures forum (everyone who posted looks AMAZING!!!) and impressed with how supportive you all are of each other that I had to stop lurking and join. I read the book twice and looked up some of the research articles that Dr. Atkin's cited in the book so I feel pretty prepared and convinced that this is the right diet for me. I'm currently on my 8th day of induction and have lost 6 pounds of the freshman 31 I've been carrying for 3 years with NO cravings. (Yes, its usually the freshman 15 I know, but I guess I'm an overachiever
.)
Anyways I graduate in a month and want to and am prepared to go the distance to look fabulous and to maintain it for the rest of my life. The problem is, no one in my life supports me on this. They all babble nonsense about how "stupid" I'm being and that low fat is the way to go so I just stay silent about it. I'll let my weight loss do the talking in a couple of months. It's rather annoying since in a month I'm graduating as an RN and I KNOW what I'm talking about and doing nutritionally thank you very much, ARRRGH!
*Deep Breath....* I'm hoping I can meet people who will support me on this weight loss journey and that I can be accountable to, and of course, in return, I will do the same. Best of luck to everybody on meeting their goals, you'll be seeing me posting on here a lot I think
. (I'll do my best not to babble on so much though, promise!)
5'7. Starting weight 156. Weight 150. Goal 125.
