Meet Kristin
Email: KMEArnold@aol.com
I make my home in Chicago, USA.
I visit the board daily.
My Stats: 215/205/140.
My Size Stats: 16/?/8-10.
I usually test dark purple.
I started Atkins on 10/5/99.
I restrict myself to under 20 grams of carbs and Caffeine, Aspertame, Saccharin, Citric Acid, MSG.
My exercise regime:
- I just started Atkins a week ago and have not gotten into any regular exercise regimen.Ê I hope to get myself into a
pattern that includes exercise.Ê I enjoy walking and step aerobics, so I plan to incorporate these soon!
What I usually eat in a day:
-
I don't yet have a usual plan since it has been only a week.
However, the most significant thing I did before starting this diet was to give up caffeine completely and this is coming from a
sodaholic!Ê I now drink only water and find I can't get enough - I am drinking on average 6 liters a day.Ê I think this has been a
great help.
My favorite recipe:
-
Same here - none yet, sure to post at a later date - love to read the others.
My inspiration:
- This board and others out there provide a great deal of inspiration.Ê Another is a cheesy slogan that about sums up
what I feel..."Nothing tastes as good as slim feels!" Every time I think I miss carbs, I remember that.Ê The greatest inspiration is that I am seeing results and that I do not feel deprived!
My goals:
- When I reach my goal weight I would love to go on a shopping spree and finally be able to buy the clothes I have longed to wear.Ê I would also like to be able to shop in a store and not have to leave once I realize the largest size is too small!
Have you experienced any negative effects:
-
The first three days I had a raging headache, which I now assume was carbo withdrawal.Ê Since then...
Will get a picture posted as soon as I can find one!
