  • Getting back on track!

    Hello Everyone!
    I am a 52 yof trying to get back on track of my weight and fitness image. I was doing well and down to 66kgs but met the man of my dreams, married and moved to another country. I am an USC and married my British husband Dec 2007. Although my husband eats fairly healthy, he eats way more than I ever did. Due to cooking 3 meals a day for him, I have gradually put on 10 kgs and am not happy with myself. I had previously lost 90+ pounds so I don't want to get back to that state again.
    So I started the Atkins on 16 June 09 at 76 kgs and now at about 74.5 kgs. I have moderate ketones on board so know I am doing the right thing. It makes it a little easier that my husband is away so I can concentrate on my food rather than his. He works out everyday and I try to walk, ride bike or do resistance training at least 4 days a week but may have to up that. So I look forward to hear everyones stories, good and bad, and hope it keeps my willpower going. Go get them everyone!
    Cheers!

    Hello LRKO and welcome. It is hard to limit yourself but I am retraining myself to stop before I feel full and then wait 20 mins to see if the full feeling kicks in. It really works.

    And I have found at 48 I have had to up my cardio and weight work substantially in order to lose.

    GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
    GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
    FINAL GOAL 165

    It's not about the results. Its about the process.

      hi and welcome -- good luck!!! If you need anything all you have to do is ask. Drink plenty of water, good nutritious foods off the acceptable food list and exercise - you'll be at your goal before you know it.

            there is a water challenge every month that will help keep you on track -- you can join us, pledge an amount to drink daily and post when you've made it everyday. It really helps a lot of people who are struggling with drinking water.

              Take it slow and take lots of little sips rather than trying to chug entire glassfuls. It will add up before you know it.
