Another Newbie

  • Hi - I'm Lynn

    Just wanted to introduce myself and say what a great place this looks like for support and information - and I'm looking for both.

    I just started my journey yesterday after getting on the scale and realizing how much the past few months in particular have stressed me out.

    In 2003 I weighed 219lbs. I joined Healthy Inspirations and lost 50lbs - and most of that has been gained back in the last 5 years due to steady stream of stress I inflicted on myself.

    Now that the stress is pretty much gone I can focus on my weight again.

    I'm following the Atkins diet as I know how much I can lose in the first couple weeks and it will help me jump start my weight loss.

  • Hi and good luck!
  • I am a newbie too. I started the IP diet last week. I haven't weighed yet....tomorrow evening I go! Keeping my fingers crossed....I haven't cheated...So far this diet has been reasonably easy. I did not feel the sicky feeling I had been warned about by my counselor.
  • Welcome and good luck !
