Catching up on email here...
Three years ago I had lost a whole bunch of weight (about 80 pounds)
and was pretty close to my target weight. For me, the best way was
Atkins. I don't believe in Atkins as a lifestyle, but more as a quick
results/motivator. Within one month of doing Atkins I was down by about
30 pounds. At that point I was hyped enough that I was more willing to
eat healthy and exercise wasn't nearly as painful.
Unfortunately, I lost weight for the wrong reason -- I wanted to meet
someone. What I learned is that losing weight just makes you thin and
lonely instead of fat and lonely. I've gained some of it back and
probably could lose it again, but I don't really have a motivational
reason. I mean, do I want to lose weight so that I can live a longer,
lonely life? Gee, that sounds like fun. :)
