    Goal: 18 kg in 4 months

    Hi everybody! It's kind of weird for me to write this message since in general I'm not a big fan of forums (especially when I have to talk about me). But anyway... I somehow believe that writing on this forum will help me stay on track.

    I'm 5'8" and weight 72 kg (i.e. 159 lbs). I started Atkins 4 days ago, and until now I've lost a bit more than 2 kg (approx. 5 lbs). I'd like to get to about 55 kg by the beginning of June, but we'll see how things go. A first goal is to go under 70 kg

    I also plan to start a journal here... soon. I need to make a bit more courage for that.

        Hi there!
        Has it been an entire week for you now? How are you faring? Having any particular struggles? Seen/felt some improvements? (I'm not trying to be nosy -- this is an official invitation/request for you to talk about yourself, since you mention it doesn't come naturally.)


        PS - I love your avatar... I've felt like a grouch more than once during my Induction!

          Welcome. It is hard to start opening up to others especially about your weight. You'll find that the people here are more like family than like a so called forum. This is the best support system you can find - we all work together and encourage each other to succeed. You will find that by sharing your goals, your thoughts and your accomplishments in losing the weight it will keep you focused on making plans to improve your life-style to get healthier and lose the weight. Use the positive enforcement here to committ to making it happen. Get active here, make friends and form a plan to get to your goal. We're all here for you! You can do it!
          Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F



          Dedication gives wings to our dreams and keeps them in flight! In One Word...COMMITTMENT.

            Welcome to the board. This is a great place for information, motivation, to rant, etc.. Everyone here is trying to help each other.

            Good Luck, I look forward to reading your journal and seeing your success.

            What I know:
            1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
            2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
            3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
            4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.
