Quote From: lyndamazedHello there,
I'm new and so excited to be here.
I have lost 30lbs, but the method I was using is not good for me. I have multiple sclerosis and was on Atkins of all things. Not to knock Atkins way of eating, but I recently found out that I should be basically eating at 'maintenance' levels *if* I'm to stay on Atkins.
So how will I lose if I eat maintenance level? I won't is the answer so I'm revamping my food consumption, portions, exercising mildly due to the disability that has seemed to plauge me but my spirits are high and I am looking forward to checking in often so that we can lift each other upwards and to our goals.
Best wishes to all,
Lyndamazed!
Hi,
My names janice. I too have MS,,,since '99 & have always had weight issues. I lose, gain, lose, gain, you know,,,,,yo-yo'ing. I'm about 40 lbs overweight. The MS does limit us doesn't it? I can still walk a little, not enough to constitute being called excercise. It's depressing to not be able to excercise like I need to and want to. So, having to sit more than I want to-I nibble. BUT, I nibble when I'm depressed, when I'm happy-it doesn't matter. I try to control my snacking. I just this week decided to try-slowly-cutting out my snacking. I have a 28 year old son, daughter-in-law & a beautiful grand-daughter who I want to be proud of me. If I'm gonna have to deal with the MS, I don't want my family to see a fat 'MS'ER', but an 'MS'ER' who can still take care of herself. And it's hard to do. If you want to, my e-mail address is rjsamuels@ctc.net. Good Luck & best wishes!
