  • My Story

    About Me:

    I started my Journey many times, ONLY to backslide at a short point into the plan. I have struggled with my weight for many years and as a chubby kid it was tough. I ate whatever and didn't care about the way the weight was coming on until I became a teenager and wanted to wear the lastest trends and styles that peers my age were wearing. I then began to use all sorts of methods to lose the weight. I would take diet pills, liquid drinks, and water pills to shed the unwanted pounds only to regain them back because I wasn't learning how to eat properly for life. When I started Induction on 1/20/05 for the last time my mind was renewed and I prayed asking GOD to give me the WILL POWER and he did. Since then I haven't been off plan at all and I'm still doing Induction at this time. I love the way I feel and look. I have gained more energy and a self respect for myself. If I can do this; so can YOU. Now is a good time to jump on the ATKINS band wagon for a better you.
