hi new

[happyhippo]

Hi, my name is Jan. Im low carbing again. I first started in October of 2003 and was doing very well until around november of 2004 when my boyfriend and I started heavy duty eating out. He is thin and has a blessed metabolism, and in wanting to feel "normal" I gained all but 3 pounds of my pre-atkins weight. I know better now, but Im not glad that it took so long for me to decide to seriously lose weight. I've started up since last wednesday, march 9, and since then I have lost 15 pounds already. Whether or not it is water weight, I feel pretty good and am feeling positive. I'm ready to do this for lifetime, not just to lose weight.

WOW, Jan, You're LUCKY! I'm jealous!!!

I started my proper Atkins Induction on March 2 and have lost only 5 lbs so far! (I lost 9 lbs from my all time high, since 01-01-05)

But I'm guessing I'm a lot older than you and have been yoyo-ing a lot longer as well.

Anyway, girl, welcome and lots of luck!
