Another Newbie Not So New to This WOE
Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself to you all, as I plan on posting and posting and posting on this board throughout my weight loss journey. I've bee lurking for some time and everyone here seems so nice and thoughtful that I thought "what the heck, I'll join, too."
Anyhow, I'm BlondeGirl. I'm 23 years old and live in central California. I currently weigh 180lbs, which is an awful lot on my 5'2" medium-large sized frame. My goal weight is 130lbs and I am very, very dedicated to reaching it.
I've struggled with low carb eating recently, though it has worked wonders for me in the past (you know, last time I was actually AT 130lbs). I thought that since I had lost the weight I could go back to my old habits and BOY WAS I WRONG! So yeah, here I am.
I've read the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution time and time again and from cover to cover, and it is the low carb plan I try to follow. With the help of Ketostix I find that I get into induction fairly easily but losing weight while in ketosis is not so easy for me. Because of that, I have spent the last two months (or so) doing the yo-yo low carb diet (you know, the one where you low carb for a few days until you become discouraged, eat an entire pizza, then swear you'll low carb again because you feel horrible for eating that entire. large. pizza.).
Like I stated before, my ultimate goal is to reach 130lbs, though I've got a few goals along the way, as well. These would be: 165lbs, 150lbs, 140lbs, and 135lbs. I've got small rewards planned for myself upon the completion of each of those goals, as well as a huge reward (new wardrobe!!!) when I reach 130lbs.
So yeah, that is me and my diet related info. in a few (perhaps a few too many) sentences. I'm so excited to be a part of this community and hope that I can get to know many of you!
