Hello,
I am a 33 year old mother of 3, girl (8), boy (7) and a baby boy (7months). I have been over weight most of my life (what I wouldn't give to be the weight I was in high school when I thought I was JUST SO FAT:))
This time I am bound and determined to look good to myself, fortunately (or unfortunately don't know which), I have a husband who doesn't care if I weigh 214 pounds, sometimes I wish he did care it would motivate me more, but then I would think he was picking on me LOL.
We both started Atkins on 6-5-05 and stayed on it a month and decided to switch over to low fat after we had a carb fest for 5 days over the 4th of July holiday, well needless to say- I put on 5 lbs and my husband put on 8 and I swelled up huge in my calves and ankles and have felt like garbage, so we both decided we felt better following the low carb way of eating. Started back yesterday (7-8-05 Thurs) and have had absolutely NO energy and hungry, hungry, hungry, I ate more yesterday low carb than I did eating high carb over the weekend :)
I love to use the "Walk away the pounds" videos, I walk 3 miles with it ( I am ready to buy the 4mile), and started the "Power 90" circuit strength training yesterday, I have exercised faithfully since the beginning of June and can tell a huge difference just from exercising. I also like to walk on the treadmill a little, I am wanting to start running but have never ran any certain distance for very long ( it hurts to run to far and I can't catch my breath:) and don't know how to get myself into enough shape to start running :wave: . Any ideas??? Thanks for reading... sorry so long....
God Bless,
Amy
