Hey everyone!

I just joined the community. My name is Lyndsey, I'm a 19 year old college student, and I live in Lexington, South Carolina. Here are my stats:

Height: 5'5"

Highest Weight: 165 (2006)
Lowest Weight: 125 (2007)

I originally lost 30lbs on Atkins with no exercise and then the final 10 and toned up on a low-calorie diet with plenty of exercise, which was then used to maintain my weight.

HOWEVER, I've fallen off the bandwagon.

Current Weight: 140-145 (depends on the day)
Goal Weight: 125-130

I went from wearing a size 9 (almost 11) jeans, to a size 5, back to a 9 at 25lbs lower than my highest weight (a growing girl, bigger hips?). I'd like to get to a 5 again or at least a 7. I just want to feel slim and good about myself again.

I'll be making posts in a few other forums for help, but...

Start Date: Monday, December 22nd
Possible Plans: Low Calorie diet with exercise, "calorie shifting" method (anything BUT Atkins)

I don't feel healthy anymore and my body is nowhere near toned and healthy-looking. That's the goal, to feel good about ME. But I do require a lot of support to do this again. It'll be tough, and I chose this forum to help me stick to my goal.

WISH ME LUCK!

Good luck. I know what it's like to fall off the bandwagon. I took a month off from working out and now I'm starting to feel and see it. Once you start again it will feel great and you will be so happy. Good luck!!!!

LBW,

If you're not sure where to start, check out the Featherweights forum, and the 20-somethings support group, and the Calorie Counters forum. I'm a calorie counter, too, so maybe I'll see you over there!
