Hi everyone! Can I join the club? 
I'm a 24 year old stay at home mom to 2 great kids. I've gained 50lbs since having kids, and I was about 50 lbs overweight even before that. I am 5'6 and weigh 250 (did weight 250, I've lost 8 lbs so far! - day 9 of induction).
For years I've had that voice in the back of my head that kept saying "you'll lose the weight eventually, you weren't destined to be fat forever" but recently that voice has been saying "well, it's too easy to be fat and I'm pretty comfy, so it's ok if your overweight forever" and that scared me.
My husband took a picture of me at Christmas and I was horrified. You never really get how big you are until you see it in a picture. I was sitting next to a friend who is very thin and fit and I was so embarrassed to see myself in that picture. I am a member of another message board for mom's and someone said they we're doing Atkins. So I went to the bookstore, bought the book and 2 days later started Induction.
So here I am! 100 lbs to lose and so, so ready to do it. I'm loving this WOE and am so happy I finally decided to get started losing this weight

Welcome to ADBB!! Congrats on your weight loss so far too!! I wish I could be a SAHM - it's soo expensive where we live though, so I am VERY jealous you can manage that.
