Kathy Bowman's Journal, 10 August 2009

I began on my weight loss journey on Feb. 23,2003 at a weight of 235 lbs. I had lost a little weight before I had begun in Feb...maybe about 10 lbs. but I will stay with what I weighed the day I had begun (Feb. 23) So far I have lost almost 81 lbs. and have 21 lbs. more to go before I get to my goal of 130 lbs. I may get down a little more but it will depend on how I look and feel. I already have so much saggy skin on my body..LOL! When I get to 130 lbs.,I will have lost 105 lbs. I have type 2 diabetes and hope to be taken off of my meds soon, as my sugar is so well under control at between 78 and the upper 80's for most of the time. If I am sick or stressed out, it will fluctuate some.

Wow Kat! That's a phenomenal achievement! Have you been doing Atkins the whole time?

Yes, I've been with Atkins since Feb. 23,2009 (start date). I weighed more than 235 lbs. ,but had actually lost about 10 lbs. before I found out I was diabetic and started Atkins (I had the flu and a diviticulitus attack for a couple of weeks.) To me, it is the healthiest choice of a lifestyle change for the better. My sugar has dropped well into the normal range for months now and I feel GREAT! I use my elliptical daily of course but, due to my foot and leg injury, (standing or walking 20 mins. at a time or it swells up and starts turning bluish) I go on it as long as I can and stop for a bit and then continue on. I'm 53 yo and 5'2 so 130 lbs. is on the high side for me,but I may dip a little lower. It will depend on how I look and feel when I get there..LOL! Thank you for your supportive comment! Kat~☺~
