    Red face Hi Everybody!

    Hello to all of those taking the time out to read my introduction!

    I'm not exactly sure what to say here...I guess I should have read some other introductions first to get a better idea. And, sure.. I could hit the back button. But I'm tired. (Mostly from getting too caught up in trying to make my profile pretty.)

    Anyhoo....

    I'm fat & I am not ok with that.

    SOOOO.. I'm doing something about it. I started following the Atkin's plan on Monday and am doing great thus far. I'm not new to the plan....or this site. I've been secretly lurking about for a few days, gaining knowledge and inspiration from not only these boards but the lins and articles as well! I would have introduced myself sooner, but I wanted to make sure I'd be sticking around. See...I have this thing where I do atkins for a day..and then quit cause I ate a donut, so rather than jumping right back in, I basque in my carbolicious shame for a few days. Then I jump back in...until I see a bagel. It's a vicious cycle. HOWEVER.... this time is different. I'm 4 days in and going strong, and I'm determined. Plus I bought a smokin hot pair of jeans that I'd like to fit in soon!

    Now where was I?

    My name is Any and I began my LC journey 5 years ago, and had great success! I lost 60 lbs and kept it off. Unfortunatly after leading a rather lc lifestyle for 4 of those years...I fell off the wagon. For the last year and a half I have Transitioned from a married stay at home mom of 10 years, to a single working mom of three fabulous kids. This last year of my life has been insane! Chock full of learning expieriences that I wouldn't trade for the world. I am in a great place emotionally, and I want the outside of me to reflect that as well. I'm willing to work hard for it, and while I'm going to give it everything I've got...I just know I'm going to have one (or several) of "those days" that I need to rely on others who know where I'm coming from. So...I'm glad to have found you all! I look forward to getting to know you and helping when I can!

    Peace
    Amy

    Thank you all for your warm welcomes! I'm still out here, doing my thing. I'm down 11 lbs, it was a week yesterday. I am amazed at my results! I'm having some trouble though. My calories are very, very, low. I've been logging my food and I am astonished that I keep coming in under 1000 calories a day. I'm not starving, I actually feel pretty good...but I'm worried that my body is going to start storing instead of burning!

    Amy, if you're concerned about the calories, try adding in some more fat or protein, or even a few more veggies. Maybe just a piece of cheese, or a little extra meat on your plate, or perhaps a snack of veggies with ranch dressing for a dip. It doesn't take much to up that calorie count.
