My name is Heather, I'm married & a working mom. I've been stuck here at this weight for the past 5 years, minus the time I was pregnant. I was at 147 when I got pregnant. Have been struggling to get back there. My son was born in 2008, and I just passed 147 in my 1st week. I found Atkins while considering HCG, and have been so far successful. I admit to falling off the wagon occassionally, but I always get right back on. In my 1st 2 weeks, I managed to lose 6lbs & 11ins. More than I've been able to lose in months on other plans.
My goal right now is 130 or 125. I plan to re-assess once I hit 135. I might not want to lose another 10. I just want to be healthy, and happy with the way I look for a change. I will never be a stick-thin girl by any stretch of that definition. Most all of my weight is in the middle, and it drives me crazy. Soon as it stops raining 10days a week here ;) I plan to take full advantage of the sunshine! I go to the gym on average 3 or 4 days a week. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less. I don't have a set routine, I just do whatever. When it's less I try to take a walk through the neighborhood with my son & dog, or do something at home.
