I began my Atkins journey a week ago on March 27, 2010. I began at a whopping 306lbs. At only 24 years of age and 5 feet 4 inches talls, this is devastating. I am hypertensive and take medicine daily for my high blood pressure for the past 3 years now. There is a significant family history of hypertension and diabetes.
I am miserable in my own skin...so self-conscious. At this point, this is a matter of life and death for me. This is more than an attempt to look better or buy smaller clothes. As a school teacher, I also want to set a better example for my students.
I will weigh in for my first update in a week. Rather than obsess about the scale, I've decided to wait until the two-week mark before weighing again.
I am hoping that there are tons of other dedicated people out there who will walk with me on this journey.
I have a whole lot of life ahead of me, and I am working now to improve the quality of that life. I can't wait to do the little things again like play basketball and have a renewed sense of confidence and self esteem.
Height: 5 feet 4 inches
Starting Weight: 306 lbs
