A new Sandrella in 2013
 

I started this journey on 1/1/2013. I lost my mom in December of 2011 and sort of drifted into a fog of little debbies, donuts, cookies, chips, etc and gained a whopping 40lbs. I was already overweight and packing on more was not a good thing! I realized why and I am determined to pull myself out of my depression and get this weight off! I decided that Atkinks would work best for me and so I began on 1/1/2013. I'm going to be joined on this adventure by my 14 year old daughter and my best friend! Here is to a new us in 2013!

Seems as if you're off to a good start.

Keep us posted :)

Thanks for the encouragment!

Week 2 has come and gone and I've lost another four pounds!! So total lost so far is 9lbs! I can do this! My best friend and I have been cooking our meals for the week on Sunday and that really helps with planning. I am walking at least 2 miles a day. Hoping to be able to do a 5k in October.
