Hi! My name is Kris and I just stumbled across this board and decided it was time to make myself commit to my life style change! Plus you guys all seem so nice In the past year I have quit a job and made a decision to move from a large city to a small city, then met a wonderful man and since moved in with him into his home and into another city. I am at my highest weight ever and I am just not happy with myself anymore. While living in Atlanta my job stressed me out so much I started gaining wieght like crazy, I was at the time 175 and started gaining wieght this past year and now have gotten to 238. Living in a new city and not knowing anyone it isn't helping feeling a bit alone and far away from my family. I had been on the Atkins diet before and lost 50 pounds and kept it off for awhile, that was prior to quiting my job in atlanta. I have since joined Curves and am working out there 3 to 4 times a week. I am considering starting the South Beach Diet, I was wondering if anyone had a better suggestion of what might be a better diet.
I would love to hear any advice anyone has to offer!! Thanks
Bummer. I am trying to eat healthier and cut out the sweets and fats. Counting calories and exercising more. I would like to eventually join a club or something but not really sure which diet I want to do. I am also reading Dr Phil's book(again) and would like to give his sample menus a try. Sounds like I will get plenty full. Good luck and if you ever want to chat, just PM me.
