New To The Forums, Hello
Once again, hello!
I am currently on the Atkins diet, induction phase. I am hovering somewhere around 209/208lbs. on my home scale.
I've been heavy most of my life, starting as a child. When I was around the age of 11/12, my mother helped me to start the Atkins diet. It worked! I went from a heavy, unhappy preteen, to a healthy, happy preteen!
This was the norm, until pregnancy. I gained an enormous amount of weight while pregnant, and my weight has continued to rise, years later.
I have been up in the 200's for at least 3, or 4 years, now.
I joined a local gym in January of this year, and realized that exercise alone wasn't doing much for me.
So, this is now...
Female
5'2"
209/208lbs. ( Home scale. ) Will have a more accurate weight after I get home from the gym, tonight.
Gym - Treadmill for an hour, weights for arms & legs
Before Valentine's Day weekend, I had only 7 pounds to lose on the gym's electronic scale before I was under 200. Of course, during the weekend, I really let go, thinking it wouldn't have that much of an effect. Guess what?! It did.
Now, mad at myself, I'm determined to not take any "breaks." No more pigging out on the weekends, no more skipping the gym.
I can't believe how much I am paying for that one weekend.
So, that's me. I would love to post some pictures, at some point, too.
