  • Almost 30 & tired of being "almost" there!

    Hello everyone! My name is Heather and I'm from CT. I promised myself that when I turn 30, I want to be the healthiest me I've ever been. I love running, but also LOVE food! All kinds too! Well, 2 weeks ago my boyfriend decided to move out of our apartment b/c he was scared of the wedding plans we had begun discussing...early in the summer my mom was diagnosed with cancer...and earlier in the year I had my own medical issues. 2008 has been a challenge! However, I've been going to church & keeping my faith in God and doing things daily to continue to be blessed and be a blessing as my good friend Starr says. Anywho, I started Atkins for the 2nd time and am on day 11 and down 3 lbs! It's definitely coming off much slower this time around, but I haven't been exercising over the past couple of weeks and have not cut out caffeine, so that may explain the slow loss. On the positive side, I didn't stuff myself with peanut m&m's during any pity parties, and I feel fabulous! I'm not craving sugar or carbs any longer and plan to continue on this positive course! Good luck to everyone...and feel free to make comments/suggestions!

              Thank you Heather!!! I have a ways to go but I'm taking it day to day...sometimes minute by minute Not gonna give in! I remember when I was turning 30 I wanted to be the healthiest I could...but nothing worked for me...at least before I turn 40, I believe I'll be able to reach my goal and be continuing to live healthy. I'm glad you've chosen to do this before you turn 30...keep it up...trust me it works!

              It's a pleasure to meet you!

              All the best to you!
