Hi. My name is Celia.
I've never tried Atkins before. Honestly, I always thought it sounded crazy. But I know people who have had great results so I picked up the book and decided to give it an honest effort. Started yesterday, May 1st. So far, so good (although, truth be told, I am a little freaked out by the amount of fat I'm consuming).
I was very athletic in high school/college so I was able to stay "curvy" but a desk job + the stress of graduate school lead to a significant waist expansion and I've now spent most of the last decade 40-50 pounds overweight. I carry it well so I didn't worry TOO much about it (only during swimsuit season) but a recent trip to the doctor revealed that I am pre-diabetic. Not good. So it's time to take control of the situation.
I'm finding the success stories on here VERY inspiring and have even "friended" a few folks who posted particularly motivating results. I tend to lose slower than most so positive examples always help keep me in the game.
Hope to interact with more of you as my journey progresses!
