What a difference a year makes!!!!

It has been exactly one year to the day that I last posted. What has changed, I am now a mother of 10. My baby girl was born Jan. 2nd this year, and I have started my battle against obesity once again. I have been doing Atkins Induction for 2 weeks now, my weigh in day was on Sundays but since I am re-starting this blog today I decided to change my weigh in day to Thursday. As of this morning I am currently 140.7 kilos or 310 pounds. My goals for this year are to grow my hair down to my armpits ( thats another blog yet to be written...) and to get down to 250 pounds( 113 kilos). I am doing Atkins this go round because my thyroid issues were causing me problems with breastfeeding so I am not restricted to what kind of diet I can do and I feel like atkins is something that I can stick with very long term. I try to walk on the treadmill daily for at least 2 miles, I do various work out dvd's and I recently ordered Turbo Jam which I plan on doing every day inshaAllah. I am feeling great, I go outside and dance in the yard and jog a little to get exercise in when I don't feel like being on the treadmill. My first week on induction I did really well, but the second week I discovered Atkins bars and I think the slowed my weight loss so I have vowed that I will not eat anymore Atkins bars, I will not drink any more diet sodas, I will use splenda and splenda products very sparingly to make home made foods to go along with my induction. I plan on staying on induction until I reach 200 pounds then my goal is to move to on going weight loss OWL phase of Atkins. So here my journey re-begins. I can do this, I will do this , I have to do this, May God grant me success, amin. My mini goal is to be down to 300 pounds by April 27th. Thanks for listening.
