My name is Mary. I am a 45 year old going on atkins for the 2nd time. I'm an emotional eater. I can lose weight but always gain it back. No one else in my family is like that. I'm the only low carber in the family. Not easy! I want to stop dieting and make a lifestyle change.

Im really determined to finish this no matter how long it takes. I would love to get to the point where I am no longer trying to lose but maintaining. I havent been there in years. So here it goes!

180 - May 15th 2011
170 - June 22th 2011

mini goal: 165 lbs...(go buy your favorite fragrance, you have 20 lbs to go!) - yay! Reached it July 18th!

155 - 10 more gone...10 to go! Im thinking manicures ;)
Done 8/21/11! Bought new jeans today instead of manicure

145 - The ultimate goal! How about a new eliptical to help stay the course? Decision time.... Go on to 135?


Oh and while I have Atkins listed as my diet I do try to follow the general guidelines of low carb WOE. Im not an exact follow it 100% kind of girl! I kinda do what works for me by finding out what doesnt .
