A new year is upon us.
I stepped on the scale a week ago and found out that I am at my highest weight ever. I am now at 232 lbs. I have never been this big before.

I started a wager with my father. Not that he has a ton of weight to loose. And I know that he is just doing it for me - I love him. We put down a bet of 100 dollars a piece. The highest percentage of weight loss wins the pot. We are hoping that some of our other family members will join in also.

I have been re reading the atkins book this week. I have actually found out some things that I must have missed before. I have a better game plan this time around. I am sure that I can complete this task. I am going to need a ton of support though. This road is going to be rough.

Starting weight 232
Partial goal - 200
Ultimate goal - 150

Peace and Happy New Year to all!

Hey Shauna i am new to this and don' know how to post a blog..can you walk me through this???

I don't know how to post a blog either. I am starting Atkins on Monday...but know I will need alot of encouragement. I hope someone gets this and sends me something. I have done Atkins before but never for long. Something always comes up and and I fall off the train. I need to decide that I am doing this for 3 months or 6 months and do it. I always come up with an excuse to stop. No good! and I weigh more than I have ever before. Any words of encouragement would be extremely helpful and appreciated!

Take it one day at a time. Follow the book and you will be successful. Remember you didn't get the pounds in a few days, it will take some time to get it off. Don't forget your water and to exercise!
