Hello, I'm new!
Hey everyone!! My name is Kristen, and I'm 25 yrs old with a little Atkins experience, ready to try again and succeed!! I'm a stay at home mom of two daughters ages 7 (Izabella) and the other is 2 (Julianna) on Wednesday! I have had enough of being overweight (!FAT!) and recently felt I had my 'personal breakthrough' as I like to call it. Now I feel like its my time to lose weight and become a new healthier, more energetic and outgoing me.
One change I have recently made is starting to exercise, never have I done it this regularly/religiously as I am now. Usually when I tried a 'diet' I wouldn't exercise at all, besides going for a walk now and again! Anyway, I have been doing 30 or 45 minutes a cardio everyday (Gazelle) for 4 days, recently just built up to 45. I'm doing a TON of ab work, squats, stretches, modified push-ups, etc. Just at home. Anyway, I am sooo feeling proud of myself I dont mean to be bragging or anything!
I guess I'll share the facts and some goals/mini goals I hope to achieve through the atkins lifestyle.
At my heighest weight (day I had 2nd daughter) I was 206 lbs at 5' 3"
. My lowest weight before I had my first daughter was 145 lbs. I had already begun gaining weight by this time (a few months prior I was 115 lbs) After having her my lowest weight was 168 lbs. (This was from doing atkins!)
Anyway after I lost some weight I just decided to stop there and induldge and I guess I lost motivation completely, because I didn't look back! And now I find myself gaining weight AND INCHES as each year passes by. Now I am at 199
lbs.
So my first mini goal is 189 lbs.
MG2- 180 lbs
MG3- 170 lbs
MG4- 160 lbs
MG5- 150 lbs
GOAL-135-145 depending on how I look.
However long it takes, I'm sticking it through til I am the size I want to be. Thanks for being here, I am going to need your support and help through this life changing journey.
PS Im planning on starting by Tuesday or Wednesday depending on which day I get my groceries done!!!
