    I about fell off the scale!

    I changed my life about a month and a half ago. After doing some research, I decided to give Atkins a try. I figured, if nothing else, it would atleast make me more aware of the food I was putting into my body. I'm a big girl, and had the mentality of "this is me. Take it or leave it!" However, I was just kidding myself, plus the fact that I want to live past the age of 30!

    I began at 394. Holy COW!

    I have been working out atleast 3 times a week, plus really sticking to this crazy WOL!

    I finally weighed myself on Monday, and I am currently down to 361!

    I am soo proud of myself. I have a lot of weight to lose, but this is an AMAZING start!

                Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
