    Newbie here

    Hi!!

    My name is Shannon and I'm a 28 year old wife and mother to a beautiful 5 month old little girl.....

    Actually, I have been around these boards for a long time only lurking and very rarely posting. I've decided to once again to do Atkins only this time I'm really going to do it!! Famous last words, right?!?! In all honestly, it's the only thing that's worked for me in the past. I know that I just have to do it 100% and not only for a couple of days or for only the induction phase. I have about 50 pounds to lose and I AM going to lose all 50 pounds. I don't want to be a lazy Mom. I want to run and play outside with my daughter. Hopefully, if I start to post a little more than that will keep me in check and accountable!!!

      Welcome back Shannon, it is nice to have you with us again. You will have that 50 lbs off in no time with that attitude. Nothing like getting motivated and putting your plan into motion. The pleasure of getting to run and play with your daughter will be a very sweet reward besides getting fit and healthy along the way. Keep us updated on your progress, ttyl, brady

            Hi Shannon! I’m glad to see people starting out at the same time as I am, we can all keep each other motivated. Though it sounds like your beautiful daughter has given you all the motivation you need! Hopefully some of your confidence will rub off on me

              Hi Shannon, welcome back. Posting often is actually one of the keys to success. Coming to the board helps keep you accountable for your eating!

              It's good you remember how great you felt while eating this way. You will feel that again and you will lose your "baby weight" too! Congrats!

                  Thanks everyone for your welcomes and well wishes......

                  I look forward to this journey and having the support of all the members here will be a tremendous help!!!!!!

                  Sillygirl: Thanks for the boost of confidence regarding the "baby weight" but unfortunately, I only gained 18 pounds during my pregnancy. So, the weight I have to lose is from years of over indulging and pure laziness....

                  Dreamof145: I haven't measured yet but I intend to! I actually found some of my measurements from about a year ago, WOW what a difference a year makes!!!!

                  geeksicle: My confidence is very high right now but it's still early on....It tends to faid pretty quickly. Hopefully, this time will be different. We can definitely lean on one another for motivation!!!! WE CAN DO IT~
