Carbwiser's journal

carbwiser · 04-12-2006, 04:13 PM

Ok, so I'm a new member of this forum and am looking forward to being a part of this community. I will definitly need the support and advice.

I am 163lbs at 5'3" with a small frame and my goal weight is somewhere between 107 & 115 lbs.

On Feb. 25th I gave up sugar. At first, my goal was just to cut out refined carbs and sugars and to exercise regularly. After 6 weeks of that, I lost 8lbs and was down to 155lbs. But it just wasn't comming off fast enough. I need results! So, on Apr. 7th I started Atkins induction. Or at least I thought I did. I was doing really good at staying under 20 carbs a day but eating those de-lish Atkins bars. I still lost weight. On Monday morning I was down 2lbs! After 3 days! I was so happy! Then on Monday night I binged on those Atkins bars (I ate three for dinner) and felt sooo bad. After reading a few threads on this forum, I see that those bars are a big no no. So yesterday I joined this forum and started over.

I'm not sure exactly how I'm gonna do this. I know I need mini goals. But I kinda think that after I reach certain points in my weightloss, I should do maintenance for a while and then start over on induction. I don't want my body to start getting used to eating so strictly and then not be able to handle normal eating. I think fruit and veggies are important, as are whole grains. But lets face it, eating these things are not what got me into this situation. I just don't want to do this yo-yo thing for the rest of my life. I want to develope healthy eating habits. I guess I'll figure it out along the way.

I'm starting this journal to help myself keep track of my weight loss and exercise. I'm so excited!

Last night my sister and I went over to my mom's for a visit. They were drinking Chardonnay and I wanted some so bad I could taste it! But, I didn't even have a sip. Oh how I love wine. Chardonay... Merlot... Riesling... Cabernet... Martini's, well that's not wine, but I love them just as much! My mom and sister kept saying how it must be torture not to be able to have some, and it was. But I just kept telling myself "Living with these thighs is more torture," and I did fine.
