Advice and support please!

Hi guys,

I just joined Atkins again today. I did it about 5 years ago and lost 15 lbs (thats about all I needed to lose at the time) and got myself down to a size 6, I was feeling GREAT! But then I decided to go crazy - you know when you get comfortable after losing all that weight..and gradually I put it back on.

I am getting married in July on the 25th. I am 5'7 and am currently at a weight of 167. Is it possible to get to 145 by then? (I'd love to ultimately be about 130 but 145 would be fine for my wedding day).. I know that weight loss would be speeded by incorporating exercise too and i plan on doing that..

If anyone could give me any tips I would really appreciate it!

Thanks

Rabia

Hi, Rabia

Welcome to ADBB!

Well, it really is not possible to know for sure whether or not you can get down to 145 by July 25th. We all lose at our own rate, and the weight does not come off in a linear fashion. It would be great if it did, but it just doesn't. But think about this - what if we said no? Would you do something different? My point is this: Do the very best that you can... embrace this way of eating as the best thing you can do for your health, and for weight loss. You get out of it, what you put into it... if you work the plan, the plan will work for you.

My best advice - read the 2002 edition of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. Even if you've read it before, I would read it again. Also, read the "stickies" that are stuck at the top of each of the forums. Lots of good info there! Here is a link to a sticky that I made, that you will give you some tips for the board.
