Greetings,

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I'll do it anyway. I'm on atkins and having trouble sticking with it. My mom is also overweight but recently had a gastric bypass, and she has been losing steadily and quickly while I remain the same. While I'm happy for her, it really sucks for me.

I don't know if anyone can understand what it feels like when your mother has at least been bigger than you your whole life, and then she is suddenly able to drop 70lbs in 6 months while still eating any food that she wants, but you remain your fat self.

It's so depressing. So I started atkins in the hope that I could change my lifestyle to lose the weight and become healthier. Problem is, I'm getting minimal support from my mother because she doesn't fully support this WOL.

I've been on atkins for about a month & a half and have only lost 11lbs and I could use some support in my efforts. I'm looking for someone I can talk to on MSN that is a female Canadian, and preferrably close to my size, so we can become losers together

I'm willing to give as much support as I get. I'm just wondering if there are others out there like me, that are having such a hard time, and if they've ever been able to overcome their challenges.... I need some friendly help!
