Hello everyone and HAPPY MOMMYS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *hugs to all moms* :hug ... I was posting this just incase ANYONE ever thought they couldnt do it.. I have been fat all my life, been on EVERY single diet known to man! and I was not about to get gastric bypass, I was not going to do that, I did it to my self, and I had to take it off my self! In January I bought a scale, and I weighed my self, and sweet jesus.. I was at 345-350... Oh lord I about passed out, and thats when I decided there was going to be a change, so I went on the ole stand by slim fast.. that got old in a week, THEN I did something even more stupid, I bought food off tv from Medifast for 300$. I try it for a week, it taste terrible and is just something I couldnt live with. I didnt want a quick fix I wanted something I could do!.. I love sweets, I ate them every single day before just to let u know, sweets are my weekness! anyways, I went on a low cal diet in feb and lost 10lbs. but it was so hard and depressing, and I couldnt go like that forever, then I tried atkins, and Im doing so good.. I dont get bored, when I have sweet cravings, I drink coffee. I just can't explain how great it is! and its made me loose 6lbs in just a week! it took me ONE month to loose that much before... I want to be smaller so bad, its my dream, I've never been under 200.......EVER... I want to cross my legs, and I want to fit into a size 16 or 12... I wanna know what that feels like

Well chunkydumplin you are on the right track! Eating the Atkins way for the rest of your life is the answer to your health/weight problems.

When I started this WOE(way of eating) I thought when I got to a size 18 I would be happy. Since I was wearing 24/26. Just to be able to go to a regular store and buy in the normal size peoples clothes. WELL......I now wear size 14's and think I will probably be in 12's when I get to goal.

When I was able to wear my husbands jeans, now that was the biggest boost!!! So many things I have accomplished and you can too.

WELCOME to ha . It is the best site in the world for motivation, support and information.

Happy low carbing!

Me too

It always surprises me to hear people express my thoughts. I am the largest person I know and I truly believed that no one understood what I went through each day. I was obsessed with my weight...is the chair strong enough to hold me? Will I fit on the airplane? Where can I get clothes that fit? You get the point.

I started doing Atkins 6 months ago and it was hard getting through the first 3 days, but after that I started to feel great. I mean GREAT. After a few pounds lost I started using the treadmill (I could only do 6 minutes). Now I am down 50 lbs and am well on my way to being in control of my weight. It is hard at the beginning, but the concepts seem to make lots of sense to me. It is very worth it.

Thanks, I needed this.
