USERNAME/REAL NAME: Genghis Cohen/ Abbie AGE: 19 BIRTHDAY: September 12 MARITAL STATUS: Single FAMILY INFO (anything you care to share about your family, children, hubby, etc.): Mom, Dad, and two younger sisters, all currently residing half way across the country. HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Good books, reality television, T.S. Eliot, knitting, wind surfing, poodles, spider solitare, baking, shoes, post-modern architecture, and the color pink. PETS: Ralphy, a standar poodle, and Ruthie Lizard, a bearded dragon, both also half way across the country. Bonzai tree at school, but it may currently be deceased. ATKINS START DATE:1-22-04 WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE ATKINS: I've done Weight Watchers twice, and I was always hungry. Then, after I'd lost the first 10-15 lbs. the weight loss would stop and I'd completely lose my resolve. So I thought I'd try Atkins so at least I wouldn't be hungry. I know a lot of people, including both my parents, who have lost a significant amount of weight on it. TOP WEIGHT: 165 CURRENT WEIGHT: 153.5 GOAL WEIGHT: 135-140 HEIGHT: 5'3" EYE COLOR: Blue HAIR COLOR: Blonde OCCUPATION: Student GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Boston WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: I don't deal well with hunger. It makes me miserable and headachey. And, in the past I've tended to take advantage of any sittuation in which my inhibitions are artificially lowered in order and eat all the stuff I've been denying myself just because my friend are doing it. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: So far I haven't been hungry at all, haven't really been craving what I can't eat, and have been really good about avoiding sittuations that would cause me not to follow the program. I have many things to motivate me, and have been keeping a personal journal as well as a food journal in order to promote this. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I'm a college student, so there are factors that make this both an easier and more difficult experience for me. One of the biggest differneces is that I don't have a kitchen, only a microwave and a refridegerator, so meal planning requires a bit of ingenuity. WHAT EXPERIENCES CAN YOU SHARE: I used to be a competative swimmer, which requred 6 am practice Tuesday-Thursday, and evening practice Monday-Thursday. Sometimes the only way to get out of bed on a Monday morning was just to concentrate on the present moment and not even think about the rest of the day, or week or month. I generally apply the same principal to dieting. If something is hard, don't think about how long it will last, live in the present and do the best you can. |

I was not diagnosed with fatty liver or PCOS then and no one could understand my meteoric weight gain. I weighed 259 the day I delivered her and have yo-yo'ed ever since. I have always had a problem with moderation and I have come to loathe exercise with a passion.

I have to do something every day to "get me going". Otherwise, I will sit on my behind untill suddenly I realize it's time to get ready for bed! ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? My biggest problem at the moment is I've hit my first ever REAL stall. I'm posting this here (finally), because I was looking back and there are some of you who have made some great progress. So, I guess this is kind of a motivational tool for later on when the stall is gone! WHAT EXPERIENCES CAN YOU SHARE: The most recent and most profound is get used to the exercise and try to come up with a plan for life. I've been taken off running and aerobics for 1 1/2 weeks and I believe that has caused me to stall. Which would be ok, if I was in maintenance. But I believe it would be disastrous if I was doing NOTHING. I'm still biking, walking and just generally moving even when I don't want to! I believe even thought I"m sticking to plan if I was not MOVING at all I would be GAINING and not just stalled! I've been around the boards for a while...just never posted here. I'm glad I didn't though, because as I said above I looked back through the posts. (Just to make sure I hadn't posted.) And it was a great motivator!! |

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I have been dragging home stray & wounded animals for as long as I can remember - I used to hatch, raise & release wild Mallard ducks - every stray dog seems to find my backyard. I am the youngest of 5 girls but I only will admit to 4 - there is one that doesn't speak to the family. My father is a carpenter (now retired), and my Mom is gone now. My house is always a wreck - it is decorated in "early American Salvation Army". My philosophy is: if it works, then it's good enough for me..... I have the horrible habit of nail biting - I know, it's disgusting..... My favorite color is purple, with red following closely behind. My most favorite movie of all time is The Shawshank Redemption. I have watched it at least 20 times, no joking. If you haven't seen it, rent it. Better yet, buy it because you will love it. My second favorite is Nothing to Lose - very funny stuff! I have an ongoing collection of turtle stuff (not cutsie though) and Dachshunds.My favorite food is Chinese - sweet and sour chicken. I love Swedish fish and any candy that is sour - My favorite flavor of candy is "red". I enjoy playing Yahoo Towers & own a Gameboy Advance SP - I think I am getting carpal tunnel!! I think everything is a joke, and laugh at anything remotely funny. My husband & I enjoy going to car shows - we have a 1984 Firebird with 1200 original miles on it (in storage). We also have a 1987 Firebird, a 1953 Chevy Pickup (I got it for my husband for Christmas 2002). He is restoring a 1937 Chevy truck. My main transportation is my Yukon that replaced the Sonoma that was totaled by me & another truck in 2001. About the accident - it was a horrible time in my life but a true eye opener. I broke an arm & leg and had to use a walker - and go through therapy. Someday when I get up the nerve, I will have all the hardware removed. My husband & I are closer than ever since then - we both realized just how fast things could be over. I love snow storms - the kind that shuts everything down and we can't go anywhere. My favorite tv shows are Golden Girls, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, The Simpsons & South Park. My favorite book is Morning Glory by LaVyrle Spencer & the Harry Potter books.

USERNAME/REAL NAME: azmomma/ Danielle AGE: 34 BIRTHDAY: 9/2 MARITAL STATUS: Married FAMILY INFO (anything you care to share about your family, children, hubby, etc.): DS-11, DD-10, DD-8 HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Reading, movies, trying new recipes, playing with my kids PETS: I want a dog- BAD ATKINS START DATE: 7/24/04 WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE ATKINS: it is the only plan that I feel completely satisfied with-- no hunger, no cravings. After doing 8 months on SlimFast (lost 75+ lbs. only to regain all of it..) this is wonderful. Nice to go to bed and not dream about food anymore!! TOP WEIGHT: 240 CURRENT WEIGHT: 194 GOAL WEIGHT: 150--First stop. Eventually would like to get to 125-130 HEIGHT: 5'4" EYE COLOR: Brown HAIR COLOR: Dark Brown OCCUPATION: SAHM--translated into cook,nurse,accountant,laundry expert, psychologist, cheerleader, janitor. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Scottsdale, Arizona WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: My lack of self-esteem. To actually believe that I deserve to be thin & healthy. It always seems so unatainable before now. This time I KNOW I will do it, I've found a healthy lifestyle I can live with forever. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: The completeness of this plan. I'm eating healthier now than I ever have before. My mental state is alot better, I've learned to start putting myself first. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? ??? WHAT EXPERIENCES CAN YOU SHARE: As far as Atkins is concerned. I've had to learn that we are all different. No two of us are the same, therefore our losses/gains will never be equal. In the past I always compared myself to others and when I felt like I was coming up short, I gave up and went back to eating and punishing myself because I felt like a failure. I've also learned that not every one person needs to do "Atkins" exactly like it's written. I believe whole heartedly that Dr. A. gave us some wonderful guidelines to adhere to to getting us in a wonderful healthy place, but that there comes a time when we must tweak it to make it unique to our own bodies in order to achieve our goals and success. I've left another board that completely believed that if you didn't follow the way it was written in the book word for word you were not doing Aktins. I don't believe that this is any way to live so I left. That, to me is not a lifestyle change. Someone told me once, "don't ever do anything on a "diet" that you don't intend on doing for the rest of your life". This has stuck with me these last 3 months and I believe has gotten me past hurdles or days when I was questioning my committment to this WOL. Everyone is different! |

I can say that when you're tempted to cheat, think back to the time you stood on that scale and you had lost a pound....think about how euphoric that was.....it might just get you through the tempation. __________________ |

Also "Santa" recently bought Amber a puppy for X-mas, so we are busy training the new "baby brother", lol. HOBBIES/INTERESTS: I enjoy spending time with my daughter. I love swimming, and although I am not an outdoorsy person, I love to be in the fresh air enjoying the beautiful weather here, when its not 109 degrees. I enjoy gardening, and actually do pretty well until the heat comes in. PETS: 1 Beta Fish (Betty the Beta) and 1 13wk old Chihuahua puppy, Mr. Apple Jimmy-Shoo (don't ask) ATKINS START DATE:I will be restarting tomorrow. WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE ATKINS: Used it before,it worked. TOP WEIGHT:252 CURRENT WEIGHT: 248 GOAL WEIGHT: 150 HEIGHT: 5'1 EYE COLOR:Naturally Brown (although I wear colored contacts) HAIR COLOR: Today it's chocolate brown. OCCUPATION: Credit counselor GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: SW WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: I love ice cream and chips WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I don't want to be unhealthy anymore, I realized that my health is the one thing I can somewhat control. If I am fat, and unhealthy, that cuts years off of my life with my precious daughter, if I loose the weight and remain healthy then it would make me feel a little better. I just don't want to be known as Amber's Fat Mommy, and I don't want to keel over and die because I had a heart attack or something. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I am fun person, I am kind caring, and love to make people smile. I work hard, and try to maintain an equal balance in all the areas of my life. :dizzy: WHAT EXPERIENCES CAN YOU SHARE: Whatta ya wanna know? |
