hi everyone.. my name is dianna.. and i had 119 to lose when I started Atkins this year on June 11th.. unfortunately i have only lost 16 lbs and not many inches either.. some sort of stall.. i have not cheated and can still look a salad in the face without gagging.. i am hoping that this plateau will bust loose, and I am hanging in there.. because losing weight is real important to me right now. I have always been heavy, and have never stuck to any sort of diet (and believe me i tried all the diets i could find) before. especially this long. I am bummed I've only lost 16 and i am on my.. what?.. 8th week?
I am looking forward to the help I can receive here,.. encouragements, success stories, and receipes, etc..
A little more about me.. I am 42, mother of 2, grandmother of 2, live in southern california high desert. starting weight 284 goal weight 165, I don't keep a journal (yet).. i havent had time to figure it out.. (i know it is important).. I tried the chat forum, but there was only 2 ppl there..
hmmm.... thats about it for now..
but i did want to say hi to all of you
and looking forward to getting to know each of you
best of luck to everyone
take care
dianna
