Starting at the beginning of July, i was working at a horse camp for kids and was working me *** off! (literally ) I still wasnt eating great, it was a lot of pasta, and sandwiches. Stuff thats easy to make for 50 people.
But, once i got home in August, i really started watching what i was eating. Lots of salad, salmon, chicken, fish, veggies, and fruit. As well, i basically only drink water and tea anymore.
Bottom line is, I've dropped over 20 pounds in 2 and a half months
Thanks!! I was actually so happy when i stepped on the scale the other day! I still have about 50 more pounds to lose, but at least im on the right track!
Congratulations that is a great achievement.:clap::clap:
Now then, STOP for a moment and congratulate yourself on how much you have lost already, make a commitment that they are never coming back. Don't think about the journey ahead, just enjoy the moment.
I wish I only had 10-12 lbs to lose! I started back on Atkins yesterday. I've been on it before and know it works, but to me, it's an expensive way to eat. Anyone else ever try it? I had this for breakfast yesterday morning
Zip Lock Omelet: Break 2 eggs into a zip lock bag, add whatever ingredients you want, I added onions, bell pepper, and cheese. You can also add bacon, sausage or whatever. Place in a pot of boiling water for 13 minutes, it was awesome!!
Yay you, Hailey! And it's especially wonderful that you have achieved this success through self-care instead of self-denial, and are feeling as positive about the future as you deserve to!
Thanks guys! I found an old pair of jeans that havent fit me in probably 8 months, and they slid on with no problem, maybe the happiest I've felt in about a year!
I just got a new puppy, so I'm going to start taking her for walks in the evening as well, just to keep myself active on the days when i can't make it to the barn.
Cowgirl Linda, I tried the Atkins diet about a year ago with my dad. I found it really really hard to stick to it. I hate having to avoid specific foods, and i find that if i try and stop myself, i end up just caving and eating much more than i should have. If I'm having a craving for something sweet, I'm not going to deny myself a cookie or two. I'd much rather eat carbs in moderation, and work out than basically live off of meat, eggs and cheese. Besides, i found that as soon as i was off Atkins, i gained all the weight back.
Just wanted to add something about the Adkins diet.... You will certainly lose weight... And quickly if done right. However it can be VERY hard on ur kidneys. I am an RN and you would be shocked at the number of MDs who advise against it for that reason alone.
But good luck regardless!! That first 20 pounds is so motivating!!! Posted via Mobile Device
