    Share Your Story.

    There are quite a few teens who kind of "lurk" this forum without posting but many of you are such a motivation to them. I figure most of the teens here either attend high school/college so if you'd like, please go ahead and share your story about how this WOE has effected you in school. Was everyone shocked at your return from summer, had to fight off any temptations during lunch or after school activities? Noticing more attention from the opposite sex?

    I'd share mine also however sadly I hadn't lost most of my weight prior to finishing school. Personally for me most of my friends and family were more worried about me. After seeing I had lost weight so quickly thanks to this WOE they figured I had either developed some sort of condition or was using drugs! That second reaction was rather amusing as i've never touched drugs in my life and don't drink either. But I'm sure many of you especially those of you in high school have heard that one. So please share your stories, they will give motivation to many others I'm sure!

          I just love it

          when hearing comments from my people it just amazes me. even teachers are starting to notice (because usually they are afraid to make a move that would overreach their personal boundaries) so Im still losing during school. My school eats nothing but junk either. In n Out trucks lining up and kids just eating. hehe. but this is working for me. and im happier.

                Well, i'll share a little bit...I've always been fat all throughtout middle school and high school...I took some time off before going to college and it was when I lost a lot of weight about 55 pounds :yikes ...So far it's been really weird, i'm still not used to it. I started getting a lot of attention from guys heh there a lot nicer when they think your cute. I had a little jealousy from one of my friends but she got used to the new me. Two of my old all time crushes from middle school and highschool asked me out on dates. (To late though lol). I did get asked whether I was on drugs twice hehe. Then I had a really nice comment from a guy who worked at the local grocery store...he stopped me and told me "i'm sure you hear this all the time, but your really pretty". I was blushing like crazy hehe...Loosing weight does help a lot with you self esteem, just don't get full of yourself afterwards lol. I still have about 20-25 pounds to go but am sort of on maintance for now until I clear up some health issues. Hopefully I'll be ok soon and going down on the scale once again. I wish the best to you guys. Oh and 64oz you look great, I've seen your pics...nice arms.

                  I've never posted before so i just thought I'd give it a try. I've been on atkins for about 5 months now. I started at about 250 and am now at 210. It feels good to get compliments, but im still about 40 pounds away from my ideal weight.

                    Howdy and welcome! 40lbs is fantastic and you should definitely be proud. You'll make the last 40 in no time.

                      welcome J dub
                      Lets see the strangest ones were form folk who thought I was getting skinny cause I was ill so they didn't say nothing about it and then when they found out it was cause I was working hard to lose the weight they wanted me to know they had noticed it months before but had been afraid to say anything cause they didn't think I wanted folk to know I was ill.

                      As I got close to goal I had folk telling me I had lost enough and needed to stop cause I was getting anerexic LOL I was in the 170s at the time and tried hard not to laugh when they said that.

                      you will get all kinds of strange things as folk project their feeling on you like the folk who insist you have to be feeling healtheir and better now that you have lost weight cause you had to be sickly when you were so fat!

                      Just stick with what you know to be true about your size based on the conversations you have had with your doctor as a part of your weight loss programs. Keep checking in with your doctor to makesure you aren't missing any nutrients you need to be acheiving that full maturity of your body you youngens also need and if you stall out don't give up work through it and the sclaes and inches will move again I was stuck 5 times and the longest was for 12 weeks and 6 very miseriblke days but Atkins worked and I got to goal with some tweaking from my doc for the potassium I was low on and the thyroid hormones I was missing.

                      Happy low carbing to all of you.

                          Well, here's my story. It doesn't quite have "success" in front of it yet, but I'm getting there! :joy

                          Let me start by saying I was always the big one in my circle of friends..middle school and highschool. I was also the biggest of my sisters. I weighed 170 in highschool, which my not seem like much but i was only 5 feet tall!! If I gained one more pound, i'd be round!! Well, I never did do anything about my weight, just hung out with the WRONG crowd, you know the one that only cared about one thing. Needless to say, I graduated when I was 17 with all of my weight, and a drug habit.

                          Now I'm almost 20, married to the man who literally saved my life, and a very proud mommy to a beautiful baby boy. WOW...Life goes by so fast! I never would have thought two years ago that I'd be a mom at 19. When I found out I was expecting, I weighed 178. I decided then that I had to get control of my life and at least exercise and eat healthy for my boy. And just when I started to make progress, I was in a terrible car accident, so all of my exercises stopped. The recovery was excruciating. I was on bed rest for 90% of my pregnancy, so when I delivered I weighed 208. I feel as though my life has been one big blur of caios. Now, I weigh 183 and I am going to do this. I started yesterday...don't laugh...and I've lost 3 pounds..yes water but who cares!! I finally put my heart into something and it worked. I feel so great that I am even a member on this board. The emotional support and the beautiful words of everyone have lifted the burden and the feeling that I couldn't to this .And as you all know...that burden weighs more than any of us want to lose. My point of all of this is to never ever give up on yourself. Not on your self esteem, your weight, nothing!! You are worth EVERYTHING that you could ever want..and you deserve it. You owe it to yourselves to continue on your path to success. OR if you're new and not sure if you want to do this..go for it. Don't let life pass you by. I have missed out on the joys of being a teenager and being young and care free. I refuse to let anymore time pass me by. I WILL take control of my life, I have too much to live for, and I know you do too. You deserve this... :joy :joy :joy :joy

                          PS If anyone ever needs a buddy or some support..PM me..I'll be glad to help out!
