Hi my name is Travis i am 14 years old, Im a freshman in high school and i am on the Atkins diet with my mom. My dad is offering a 100 dollar bill to whichever person loses the most by April 15 between me and my mom. My mom thinks she is going to win but i think it will be me.I started this diet in the first place because i wanted to lose about 50 pounds or more so i could be in shape and fit for my sophomore year in high school.

Welcome Travis!

You have the fact that you are male and your age on your side to win that bet.

Make sure you read the book to understand how LC works and you will do GREAT!

All the best, Julie

Hi Travis, :wave:

Just wanted you to know that my nephew began lo-carbing in his freshman year of HS and lost quite a bit of weight. He ended up playing football, getting a girlfriend and having a great time during his HS years. He is now a senior and getting ready for college. He reached his goal weight and is in maintenance. Sometimes he eats what he wants. When he feels that he is gaining, he locarbs again for a few weeks and gets back to his goal weight. Locarbing has become a way of life for him. He and I are locarbing together since he put on some weight during the holiday break and I am beginning again after a few years.

I tried some new recipes from (LINDA'S LOW CARB MENUS & RECIPES: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/induction_menus/induction_menus.html ) and he has been my test audience. It is great that you and your mom are doing this together. It's nice to share the journey. Wishing you and your mom sucess.
