Hey Everyone,
I have come here out of a need for support and partial desperation after yo-yoing for far too long. My name is Kyra and I am 24 years old. I have been largely overweight for most of my life and honest to goodness, everyday since the day I discovered I was fat, it has been my goal to reach a healthy size. The heaviest I reached was 350 near the birth of my son, and after discovering Atkins, I lost 90 pounds in 9 months with ease. It was the only nutritional lifestyle that quieted the voice in my head to go back to the fridge. For once I could think clearly and eat cleanly without guilt, regret or feelings of deprivation.
Instead of breaking through the first plateau, I buckled and gave up. Though I had gone down to 262, I am back up to 298 and refuse to see 300 ever again. My true goal is to NEVER SEE 200+ ON THE SCALE AGAIN. I have never been a healthy size so I think it is unfair to set a number for myself. But I do know that below 200 is where I want and need to be for myself, my health, and my family.
I'm either surrounded by skinny people or people who could stand to lose a few pounds but have no desire to team up with me. I have joined here to gain support to help me navigate the world that seems to be pro-sugar and anti-low carb! If I have to go through another barbecue or birthday party without anyone to help coach me through it and know my struggle, I may lose my marbles! Here's to gaining friends and losing weight!
