  • I am doing this for my horse.

    I own a young friesian gelding that I will start to ride next year. It would be much better for both of us if I lose 30 pounds.

    Also, I am giving myself a goal of losing 20 lbs by Oct. 19. I am going scuba diving in the Solomon Islands and want to be fit - and fit in my wetsuit.

    I will start riding my young gelding next year - and losing 30 lbs would do us both a world of good.

    I am also travelling to the Solomon Islands for a diving trip and would love to feel fit for that.

    I have read the book and am correcting a few errors. Wish me luck. This is the first diet I have ever attempted.

    Thanks for having this board.
    Starting BMI: 26.4
    Goal One BMI: 26.0 (180) attained
    Goal Two BMI: 25.0 (174)
    Goal Three BMI: 24.0 (167)
    Goal Four BMI: 23.0 (160)
    Final Goal BMI: 22.1 (154)

    Hi Seleta and welcome to ADBB. Reading the book is a great way to start--will save you errors along the way. I am hoping you find this lifestyle as easy and energizing as I do.

    HW 298
    HW (this time) 248
    GOAL ONE 228
    (take 2)
    GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
    GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
    FINAL GOAL 165

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

        Lots of luck, I am just joining today too. I used to have a beautiful Palomino Appendix Gelding but I got too fat so I got a bigger horse LOL - an equally awesome PercheronX Spotted Blanked Appaloosa. Freisians are just the most beautiful horses around and your boy is lucky to have you! I've lost 40 lbs since those days and the Appy is in retirement but I'm giving Atkins a go to lose that last 30 lbs that I've never been able to lose & more importantly to change my eating habits for life.

        Best of Luck to both of us! WE CAN DO IT!
