    Want to be skinnier...

    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Khorysmom1. I'm 29 and want to be skinnier again. I'm wanting to lose 50-60 pounds. My weight gain really hit when my 7 yr old son said, " Mommy, I think you've gotten bigger around the middle, my arms aren't fitting." Gotta love kids.
    He is definitely right. The last time I was this heavy, was when I was pregnant with him. Now it's time I get back to being me where I was happy with my weight.
    I'm looking forward to getting to know you and giving you my support.

    Thank you,
    Khorysmom1

    Hi, Khorysmom1

    Welcome to ADBB!

    I'm glad that you have found this board. It is a wonderful tool for success - full of information, motivation, and support. We follow the 2002 edition of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution here, so all of our infomation will be based around that book.

    This place is huge, with a little something for everyone. Here are a few links to get you started. The last one is to a website that a lot of us use for recipes.

    Also, you may want to add some stats to your signature. This information will show each time that you post, and will help us to help you, if the need arises. Some info to include would be your age, height, starting date, starting weight, current weight, and goal weight. You do this by going to the blue bar at the top and clicking on "Quick Links". You then click on "Edit Signature", and add your info.

    Good Luck!

      I know what you mean my children being so honest even when they do not know what they are saying is making you realize they are correct. My son made a comment about my rear end being so wide it really hurt my feelings but when I had my daughter take a pitcutre of me I was amazed of how big I let the lower regnet get. I have lost weight, more inches than pounds but still I get discouraged when it does not come off quick enough. Know that yo can do it and that it will happen. I want to be skinnier also but more than anything I want to be healthy. Good luck

        Children will always give you the truth, even when you don't want to hear it. They are not being mean, just honest. Ya gotta love them for their honesty.

        It also works the same way when you get thin. The best complement I ever had after losing over 100 pounds came from a small neighbor boy. I lost most of it over the fall and winter when he first started kindergarten, and I didn't see him much until the next summer. He came over to the fence to say hello and I called him by his name. He looked perplexed and asked how I knew his name. I smiled and said that I was the same lady that had always talked to him over the fence and had known his name since he moved in. He looked at me dead serious and told me that I was not the same lady, that lady was fat and you are skinny! I wanted to give him a big hug!
