Hello. I have been trying to lose weight my entire life it seems. I am ready to start atkins tomorrow. I have read the book and know what I need to do.
I was really happy to see this site because I have been looking for some support and this is the prefect place to get support while doing atkins. My current weight, gulp, is 207.4. I am 5'3", female, so I figure my goal weight should be about 130. I am more concerned about getting fit than really losing the weight, but it kinda hard to run when you weight this much and I figured that atkins would be a quick jump start to my getting-back-in-shape-and-losing-weight goal. I had tried atkins before, (after having my little girl), and lost some weight with it and noticed that I actually at more veggies than I did when I was just trying to eat "healthy".
I also remember that it curbed my cravings, which is my down fall in eating, even though food doesn't seem to taste that good after you eat the first couple of bites(its the wolf factor) My first little goal is 185 by my husband birthday Sept 30. That's a little less than 2 lbs a week. I am not going to set myself up for failure by thinking that the amaizing is going to happen, it would be nice if it happened over night, but it doesn't.
