Hello!

[justkatel]

Hello everyone!

My name is Kate and I started doing Atkins in August 2003 weighing 260 pounds. I lost 50 pounds, managing to get down to 210. Sadly, I fell off the way of life (badly so) and managed to gain back those 50 pounds plus some. I now weigh (approx) 290 pounds (as i dont have a scale yet) and am starting my lifestyle over again. I feel like I am now ready and this is something I fully want to do. I had contemplated starting again through out this year, but each time i realized I wasn't ready. This time I am!

I'm 20 years old, from Canada and just looking for support. I find for me it easiest being able to talk to other people trying to loose weight and know what I am going through. Each night I look through these type of forums for inspiration. I have also been keeping a food diary, which I plan on posting!


Sorry this was long... I can't wait to start to get to know this support union!

You're right that a person has to be ready to commit to this WOE. But once the decision has been made success will follow. You know from past experience that this works, and there are so many wonderful people on this board ready to inspire/help! Best wishes for a wonderful weight loss journey.

Hi Kate, you are back so that means you are readly this time, I lost some weigh tto and fell off the wagon, I am back and hoe to lose all this weight we can do it togther

[justkatel]

That's exactly what I need and was hoping to find from this board - just people who understand what I am going through!

Most of the people who I surround myself with don't understand what it is like to be over weight and really want to change your lifestyle.. so I often feel like the support I need is missing.

This already seems great.
