  • Hello to All

    Well I'm guessing that I started this off backwards because I cant remember introducing myself. Many times I'm like a chicken with it's head cut off for I have 3 kids ranging from ages 13,6, and 5 and all attending different schools. So my day starts off pretty early. I think this is why my weight escalated so much. My dh is away from home working most of the time and everything is pretty much done by me. So food was my comfort, friend, my way of coping. But in September I decided that I didn't want to live this way anymore. I felt depressed and physically sick all the time. No energy at all, it was pretty sad. So I made the decision to get on Atkins cause I had tried it about 4 years ago and got results. When I started in September @ 164lbs I did really well losing about 17lbs in 3 weeks @ 148 but them my birthday rolled around and I cheated and found it extremely difficult to restart Finally I got things together and started on Nov. 13, 2008 weighing in @ 157 I had regained 9lbs and to date have lost 11 pounds in 2 weeks. I did cheat for Thanksgiving though and gained 3 pounds but I got right back on again yesterday and ran on the treadmill. So I'm guessing I should be fine so long as I keep going no remorse no looking back. Thanks for listening and all ur support if it weren't for this forum I dont think I would've made it this far.

    Welcome! Now that you know how cheating undoes all the hard work you have done, it should make it easier/more tempting to stay on track. Is it really worth gaining 9lbs for some cake and party food?

    You've done well, and you can continue to do well!
