Hi Everyone....
I, like most of you, have been fighting what feels like a losing battle forever. I have tried "everything" and done it twice... including Atkins.
Most recently I tried the Dr. Bernstein diet and went from 299 lbs to 200 lbs in 1yr, but I couldn't keep it up.. the $$$ it cost and the restrictive diet were killing me... so I quit and gained back 65 lbs. I knew that I had to do something, before, I gained all of it back. So here was my plan, join new program and do the same thing but at a slightly cheaper rate...
was I really going to be that dumb?? again??
Nope... I realized that I couldn't be that restrictive ever again, saying no to carbs for me was way easier than saying "no" to pretty much everything that tastes good, on the same token I knew that I wouldn't be able to do this by myself. So I sat down with my boyfriend and asked him to do it with me (he could stand to lose a few pounds too) and he said "yes" ... yay!!
So I started my research and found some good websites, a few awesome cookbooks and you guys... people that were doing the same thing and could totally relate.... so I just wanted to say "hi" and "thanks" at the same time....
my final goal... the light at the end of the tunnel.... 130 lbs....
