In 2002 I lost 37 lbs in 4 months on the Atkins diet with no exercise (I went from 155 lbs to 118 and from a size 16 pants to size 6).I slowly regained about 15 lbs over the last 9 years and then another 15 or so since I quit smoking on July 14th 2011.It feels so good to finally be free from cigarettes!! I anticipated a weight gain so I wasn't too surprised but it still hurt to watch the numbers on the scale rise. Fortunately since I don't smoke anymore I can run (my favorite exercise) without becoming short of breath.This time I also do some light weight training along with the Atkins diet.
I love fatsecret.It keeps me motivated and excited about taking good care of myself.It's very comforting to know we're all in this together:)
