MarieLC's weight loss journal

MarieLC · 01-04-2006, 08:57 PM

I'm new, but not new to Atkins. I've done this for about 3 years on and off. I've lost over 30lbs at one time, but of course it's all back on. Seems most of it went to my stomach. This weight is definitely making me very depressed. I have been up to 218 lbs before but my stomach has never been this large. If it were on other areas it would not bother me as much. Today is day 2 and tonight I ate a lot - low carb - but a lot and it was late. The obsessive eating part of me came through I guess. I worked out this morning and yesterday. I am only up to 22 minutes of walking. But I have to start somewhere and I have never really been good at keeping with exercise. As of yesterday morning I was 209 lbs and I will not weigh in for a week or more. I will be A LOT more comfortable at 180 but will continue to go until 150? I'm not sure. I do not know what I will look like at anything below 160 - it has been too long. I know 120 is definitely too small for me or should I say what I want to be.

Kinda fed up with every time I go on Atkins I have to face more and more of people bad mouthing it. I accept their way of dieting/lifestyle - so I don't really understand why they can't accept what I choose to do. We are all different. I do not think this is unhealthy and regardless what can be worse than how I was before? Obsessively scarfing down multiple upsized value meals? Sad thing is I miss the food still...

Right now I am 209 lbs and a size 16.

Hi Marie!

I'm new here too. I'm utterly amazed at the amount of members here. It makes for 24/7 interaction with people who are in the same boat as me. I love it! I know exactly how you feel. My husband is very supportive of my loe carb plan, but other people aren't so understanding. In my opinion, the same thing doesn't work for everyone. You have to find what works for you. Some people can do low fat....I can't. Some people can do low cal....I can't. I am a big meat eater so the low carb works great for me. Some people just can't understand that logic though.

It's nice to see that there are a few people here who are just starting out this year(like me). I too lost about 30 lbs previously on the low carb eating plan but put it all back on when I stopped - just like you.....in my stomach area.....I HATE IT.

Good luck to you! Can't wait to see your progress!
