Hi All...

HeyLisa

I have been a dieter for as long as I can remember. My highest weight was 273 and on 5'4" lets just say.. I did NOT feel pretty.

I was big on low carbing a few years back. Atkins worked well for me for years. I was happy and healthy and strong and went from a size 24 to a size 10. Then life...travel.. job loss.. job changes.. relationship.. life priorities changed for me and I was no longer consistent with my diet and exercise. And of course.. the scale started creeping up. Well, I am back to a size 14 and realize I need help with this. Atkins no longer works for my lifestyle. I have tried..

So .. here I am. For some support.. for some accountability.. some guidance..

I realize my goals are higher then some here but for me when I was a healthy and strong size 10 I felt good in my own skin. I don't need perfection.. I just want to feel good about my body again!

Hi Lisa: Welcome and please feel free to add me as a friend. I tried Atkins in the past also, and it worked. However, it didn't last in the long run and hard to maintain lifestyle eating that way. I think you'll like this site....seems easy to use so far. I'm new too. My goal is to be a size 10 also. I'm currently a 14, and hate it. Arrgh. Size 10 is around the corner, so let's do this!!!!

Welcome! I feel like we are in a club of the size 14's wanting to get to a size 10 because right now that is my goal as well. I haven't seen a size 10 for about 10 years. What's nice about this site is the great support. I also like the food diary. It is amazing after tracking for one day how many calories I was ingesting and not even knowing it! I believe the key to any weight loss isn't a pill or crazy diet, it is support and accountability. It is also making healthier choices, watching the portion size, exercising and drinking water. I have only just began my journey 10 days or so ago but am already feeling better and I am confident that I can make it to my goal. I know you will do the same!! Good luck!

Atkins also worked for me in the past, And i totally agree this time around, it wasn't fitting into my lifestyle real well. So far this site has worked well for me. Slower than Atkins, but still works.

When my diet stops working... I shall adapt!
