It's time to be New Me

[alynfrate]

I'm 27 year old mom with two lovely kids, I've wanted to be slender once in my life. This is the first dream i want. My height is 4 ft. 11", I'm a small people, I'll start being on Atkins diet by January 1, 2008. I believe that new year'll give me a good luck to do something I really wish since long time ago. I hope Atkins diet will work with me. I'll show my pics when I start doing it.

Re: It's time to be New Me

Welcome and goodluck. You will find a lot of inspiration and motivation here. But, whay are you waiting until the new year to start?

I don't know if you've read the book? But I don't consider atkins a diet because people go on and off diets..its more of a way of eating for the rest of your life. Once you start, you have to continue this way of eating to maintain your weight.

I am just speaking from past experience. I lost 85lbs the first time I "did"Atkins. I gained about 45lbs back once I changed my eating habits.

Just a little friendly advice and I wish you great success on this way of eating.

It's kinda sad that you are gonna wait that long to start losing weight, get a big burst of energy and start to feel good for the first time in years. I wonder how much more you'll weigh by then??? I couldn't help but notice your link to a phentermine support group. Atkins works so much better than any diet pills, and the side effects are all good. You would be doing your son a big favor to start getting healthy in honor of his 3rd. birthday.

I just finished a delicious Thanksgiving feast with turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry relish, a cheesy casserole, green beans cooked with ham and pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting--every bit of it Atkins legal. I think that was the best stuffing I have ever made, and I make great stuffing, if I do say so myself. I never was very good at making gravy, but this was super good. Check out this link to pictures of my feast:http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ad.php?t=51546


Sunny!

P.S. I think you really came here today because you really want to start losing weight and getting healthy now. Your thread title says it all. It's time...

Re: It's time to be New Me

You have picked a good way to both lose weight and gain health and I wish you all the very best on your journey.

I must join the others in wondering what you are waiting for though. You say there are lots of parties in the next two months - there always will be. There will be birthday parties and special occasions on a regular basis stretching out for the rest of your life. In other words there will always be another excuse to postpone starting.

Dump the phen and start eating well on healthy good food now and by New Year there will already be a new you.

Re: It's time to be New Me

about the link phen is nothing for me, i just used the weight ticker of this site because ticker factory.com didn't let me have my gold weight less than 100 lbs. so i searched in google for another weight ticker site, then i found this site. that's why i used it. Let's see...i think all your guys are right, it may be my excuse to postpone that i've always done. Yes, my hus is agree that it's only my excuse. Okay!!! I'll start it by next week but first i have to make my food shopping list because i have no food in my refri. Thanks for all your friendly.
PS. i never know that phen is a diet pill cuz i didn't read anything in this site, i 'm not interested in any pill for my good health...NEVer

Re: It's time to be New Me

Hiya Alynfrate and welcome aboard! Nice to have you with us... and it's really awesome that you changed your mind and decided to start very soon, instead of in the new year. By then, you'll be feeling slimmer and healthier, and that feeling is better than any fleeting taste sensation. Kate's right... there are always parties, dinners with friends, celebrations... that's part of life and the sooner we develop techniques for coping with those the better.

Don't be shy of asking any questions you might have. We're with you all the way!
Happy "next week" start!

Re: It's time to be New Me

Hey girlfriend...glad to see that you are starting sooner......you will be happy that you did. Also...the journal is good tool to track your success and to meet new people. Good luck again.

Re: It's time to be New Me

Let me be the next to say how happy I am that you are going ahead and starting before the first of the year! You will be glad later, too. We would not be telling you this if we didn't know it is true. All of it. I just had an absolutely awesome Thanksgiving, with all kinds of old favorites, and all of them made legal. I didn't learn all this right away. I have been working on making this an enjoyable way of life for over two years and through the loss of 120 pounds. I am so much happier now in so many ways. It took effort, but I'm worth it. So are you. You can't wish or pray the pounds away. You have to work at it, but anything worth having involves effort. I truly enjoyed my Atkins legal Thanksgiving dishes as much or more than I ever did the high carb stuff that made me fat.

YOU can do it and WE will help!

Sunny!

Re: It's time to be New Me

I can not tell you how happy it made me feel to see that you decided to start before the New Year. You'll have pounds lost and be stepping into the New Year so much healthier than if you had waited. I can tell you're going to love the journey. Enjoy the ride!
