Inroducing myself finally!

[Stakk]

I've been here for about 2 weeks so it's time I stopped by to say an
official "hello" I love this place!

I am a 5'6" female, 28 years old, and am slowly coming down from
my highest weight ever. Last year at this time, I weighed 125 lbs
but the calorie restriction must have gotten to me because I kind of
freaked out and started binging late at night on nasty sweet carbs,
tons of pizza etc etc. EW ... So that brought me up to my high weight
of 195... And now I am on my way down from there. I love working out
but didn't do much of that during my feast fest I have slowly started
incorporating exercise into my extended induction, and am feeling great.

It's so inspiring reading everyone here's experiences and seeing the
amazing before and after photos. I look forward to getting to know
you interesting folks! Thanks for reading,

Stakk

Hi and welcome -- glad to hear you are off to a good start. Hopefully you took your measurements when you began so you know inches lost as well as weight lost.

Also make sure you get your fats, carbs and protein in daily – www.fitday.com will help you keep track of this.

*Drink 64 ounces of pure water -nothing added daily.

*Take your supplements and start an exercise routine.

The recipe sites are a helpful meal planning tool – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with. Remember – if a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list it doesn’t belong in your mouth – no exceptions!

Re: Inroducing myself finally!

Welcome Stakk - you're already doing well! I can totally empathise with a similar situation.
Christmas 2007 I was 139lbs, size UK10, mini 28inch waist, lovely and toned, and then let myself down in a moment of laziness, thinking I would pick everything back up shortly - but by Christmas 2008, I was 185lbs, and a UK16-18, my waist back up to 37inches. I loathed myself for it, too. I am finally happy, back on the Atkins wagon and down to 152, hoping to hit 140 sometime in the next few months.
I use my old, 'slim' pictures as a visualisation tool now, rather than to bum myself out! Here's to next Christmas being back to our good old selves!
