100 lb losers...share your story - Page 5

ArmyBella · 08-08-2008, 08:27 AM

I started dieting after a boyfriend I had, broke up with me stating that I was too fat and not good looking enough for him.

I got a gym membership and started working out on a daily basis. It was hard dragging myself to the gym at first because I was on a so-called healthy diet... Fruits, vegetables and lean meat. I ended up putting on weight!

I decided to call a friend of mine who happens to be an Army recruiter and told him I was finally joining the Military like I'd been wanting for 5 years...but I neded to lose weight.

He suggested that I try Atkins. I had no idea what low carb could do for me! I bought Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution and read it from cover to cover. I started the plan in April of 2007.

I was amazed at the results. I dropped over 112 pounds in 4 months... and I had never been so happy!

I swore in the Army on 9 Aug 2007 and left for Boot Camp not too long after. I ended up putting on weight because the food we were fed was just too high in carbs....

So here I am, trying to get rid of 30 pounds which won't be hard, I am sure. I did it once... and I can do it again.

As for that boyfriend of mine, he was shocked when he saw pictures of me and apologize for being an ass. Too bad! I am so glad it didn't work out because I am about to marry the TRUE love of my life. Someone who deserves me and loves me unconditionally.

My state newspaper did recent article on it before I ran the recent marathon.

That and watching my friends from my former unit be deployed to Iraq convinced me I needed to do something. Luckily I had a brother who tried the Atkins diet before me and had lost 75 pounds despite me jeering him initially. This was the first time I was successful in any attempt to lose weight, and I remain committed to keep proving that I am not that old Kent any longer.

My success photos can be found here.

So many amazing stories. ^_^

I have lost a little over 100 lbs, and I still have 100 to go before I'm at my goal. Would love to share my story, but I think that can wait until I reach my goal. Keep up the good work everyone! And as for those just starting out, just stick with it. It is very possible. And you CAN do it.
