Good for you Rapvnzle.I made another post I wonder where it went?I'll wait and see if it turns up.The most important thing I asked everyone is what should our name be?

Keep up the good work.

YOU CAN DO IT!

Here is my question of the day....RE-FEED,is it a good or bad thing?What are the pros and cons?For those of us on the Atkins,would you just go back to induction for a week or two?South Beach,what does this diet recommend?Curves program,does this diet mention anything about these issues?Alright everyone have a no sugar day and alow carb one.

Hi everyone. I enjoyed reading the posts from everyone. I am a 36 year old female with 2 beautiful children. I live in VA just outside of DC. I love being part of the group because it gets me motivated. I need to lose a lot of weight but I have to do it. I joined a gym and I am starting Atkins. Does anyone have any suggestions how to be successful at this? Pre planning? How do you stay on track when everything has carbs?

I won't be a good one for advice right now becasue I have been on a stall. So far it has lasted right at 2 weeks now. Making me SO mad. I lost 14 pounds the first 2 weeks... next 2 weeks? NOTHING! I am still keeping at it. I did have one night of lots of carbs.. pizza! But I didn't gain any.

Sorry I am late with my intro-

I am a 31year of single woman who lives in Lexington, KY. (born and rised) I am a fulltime student at the University of Kentucky working on a MBA in Social Work (not for the money but for the people) I do not have any children. I also have 2 fulltime jobs, one I am the Fiscal Office Manager in a mental hospital, my second is at night as a Residential Provider for some Mentally Retarded Individals I LOVE my jobs. I still am wondering how in the world did I get to darn big with as much as I do (I guess practice makes perfect)

I have a nephew that you would think I gave birth to. He is my heart.


I am with Rapvnzle I am so glad to have the support of others, I think that is what keeps me on track.

Jeeeze woman! 2 FULL time jobs AND going to school??? What a woman! I thought I did alot! I don't have nothin' on you chickie! If you can do all that, YOU CAN LOSE YOUR WEIGHT!

To clarify~ I just started my second job 1.5 month ago, and my classes have been out for a week now, but I did 3 weeks of all three, HARD ON ME!! I have been blessed from above with the energy to say its over (for now)

well still.. my hat (if I had one ) if off to you!

My plan is to stay on Induction for the first two week and then after add only 5-10 carbs, So I will not eat more then 30carbs on this plan and that seems thats the best plan for someone like myself who has to drop so much (so I have heard)

I like to refer to Losing Weight as something else because if you lose something it can easily be found. I know that even if you drop something you can pick it back up..........so maybe someone can help me come up with an alternative name for the process.

I must admit I have already consumed 2 splenda packets for my decaff. Kentucky bourbon flavored coffee (It was soo good)

I am about to get back to work

C U wonderful folks later

Dixiemamma~Thank you for the kind words, I get a little confused since I dont get off job #2 until midnight, but I need the extra money I am working on getting another car and I want a new house so bad I have already planned what the master suite will look like. I will talk with you later

Life has been crazy so haven't gotten to my intro. I'm 39 years old and I am also married to my high school sweetheart. I am a research working on Alzheimer's disease and I am also an assistant pastor. Hence the revrose. My DH and I are presently trying to adopt two children. We will actually know on June 3rd if we have been chosen. So I can say my stress level is extremely high. I am doing Atkins and working out at Curves. Glad to be part of this group.

ohhh super good luck to you! I know you must be so nervous / scared / excited all at the same time!

Was so nice to read everyone's bios =) I agree...Chantell...how do youi do it?! I admire you greatly! And best wishes Revrose, that is a wonderful undertaking! Have a good LC day everyone!!
