Meet Yipper143

I make my home in Virginia, USA.
I visit the board daily.
I'm 5'7" and 35 years of age.
My Stats: 178/162/135.
My Size Stats: 16/14/10.
I usually test pink.
I started Atkins on 01/08/00.
I restrict myself to 20-30 grams of carbs.

My exercise regime:

  • I exercise infrequently. Kellianne turned me on the the Tae Bo tapes and I'm trying to do that as well as a Nordic Trak Ski Machine. Thanks to Kellianne, I just might do it!

What I usually eat in a day:

  • I work rotating shifts, so my days are never the same. Mostly I eat a lunch/dinner meal of a meat and salad. For the rest of the day I just graze. I often have eggs with cheese and I graze on deli lunch meat and cheese rolled up. I sometimes snack on some of the dessert recipes on the board. Pepperoni too. I found a great cheese I like called Parano I think. Its expensive so I don't have it often but its good.

My favorite recipe:

  • I like to cook boneless pork chops in a little olive oil and montreal chicken seasoning until they are brown and the bottom of the pan is brown. then I add a little worchester sauce and water and stir up all the stuff on the bottom of the pan and simmer until the chops are done. They usually turn out really tender. (inspiration) I really want to look good for my husband. I want to enjoy clothes shopping again. My biggest inspiration is that it is working.

My goal:

  • Go shopping! I want to wear shorts. I want to wear a bathing suit again. I want to get undressed with the light on!

Have you experienced any negative effects:

  • I had headaches at first. Also some sore muscles and a little constipation. All that was gone after induction.

Comments:

I love this board! The support has been a lifesaver. Especially while my husband was gone and I was all alone. I can't thank everyone enough.
