Oh ladies, here I am again! I was one of those who never really worried about my weight as I was athletic in high school/college, and fine afterwards until my beloved Mom got cancer and passed away. Then the emotional eating began, and carbs were all I craved. Fast forward, 50 pounds later, and there I was at 175 pounds, staring at the scale and not believing what I saw.
Then I found Atkins, and the pounds melted away, and I was exercising again, and I felt great. The my DH and I both changed jobs, moved across the country, and the weight crept back up, up, up . . . and here I am at 168. Before I passed the dreaded 170 mark, I put myself back on Atkins and I am at 165 now, with 128 as my goal.
I can't believe I let it happen, I'm so mad at myself! I remember telling my husband "No way am I gaining weight again, it's too hard to lose!" Umm, yeah. So I was very excited to find this forum, and I am looking forward to getting and staying on track. Carbs really are my downfall, I just do so much better when I don't eat wheat and sugar.
So here we go again, thanks for letting me (re)introduce myself!
Fell off the wagon BIG time, back again!!
