      I hear ya girl! I am your height and I topped out at 276 before I started Atkins the first time. I had lost 112 total over 2 years, and that was just low-carbin' it and working long physical hours at work. I had a baby and gained back 30 some pounds now that I am a slave at home mom. I know how you feel! Take that bull by the horns!!

      Start a journal, if you haven't already. On that first page write out all the reasons for choosing this WOL. You can do this and so can your step daughter. The first week can be tough, and for me, the hardest. I just started Induction 2 weeks ago today ( I am extending it until I am atleast 170 again) and I found that by coming here everyday, even if just for a few minutes and reading the stories and especially looking at the pictures, helped when I felt like my cravings were gnawing a hole in my shirt from the inside. Experiment with the Induction foods too! I make a game out of it. Kinda like when you are given a longer word and you try and see how many smaller words you can make out of its letters. I try and see how many ways I can prepare the Induction foods. I have figured out some good'uns!

      I will post my High weight picture, too. Send me a private message any time. We can swap recipes and agonies!
      Keep it up!!

      Hang in there! We will both be looking fabu and feeling great in no time at all!
      Go! Girl! Go!

                Welcome Austlyn! We are so happy that you've joined us here at the ADBB. You will get plenty of support and encouragment as you change your way of eating and life-style. You have the right attitude...you didn't gain the weight overnight and it will take time to get it off. But you will do it. It is so much easier when you are doing it with others who are cheering you on. I started at 285 in March 2004. The best advice I can give you is to read Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution edition 2002. Drink lots of water, take supplements and exercise. You will hear this over and over on this site and the reason is -- thats the thing that works.

                We all want you to achieve your success and will help in any way that we can. There are lots of motivational forums, challenges, success stores, before/after photos, loser's lounge and health issues that will help you stay positive and focus on your goal. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Again, Welcome...I look forward to hearing about your success!
                Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F



                Dedication gives wings to our dreams and keeps them in flight! In One Word...COMMITTMENT.

                      Hi there, Austlyn.

                      You really have come to the right place, and I am so happy you are here. You should check out the Century Club. It is an area for people who have 100+ pounds to lose or have lost 100+ pounds. I can't tell you how much the CC has helped me in my weight loss journey.

                      I hope to talk to you again really soon. Keep it up; this WoE works!

                        I weighed in this morning I weighed 280 though this is not as satisfying as I thoght it would be because I was really realy hoping to be 270's but it did not happen I will keep my fingers crossed for next week.

                            You will be able to do it with this WOE. I started at 288 lbs and in week 14 have lost 47 lbs, but I am a bit taller than you at 5'7" and my aim is 60-63 kgs or about 132-138lbs - a loss of 150).
                            I am going to the gym (started Nov 1) and this help to speed weight loss. I try to eat all fresh foods, nothing processed, no sauces except sometimes(once a month?) a little hollandaise mixed with avocado on chicken (about 2 tablespoons).
                            A journal is ESSENTIAL. I have my trusty exercise book - left hand page is exercise and comments (TOM, moods, whsat happened at work etc) and the right hand side is riuled up for my 3 meals a day. Measurements go on a page at the back, and weekly weights. It keeps me on the straight and narrow! I found the online ones too cumbersome as I only have dial up.
                            Good luck and keep up the good effort so far. it will help so much to have your daughter for a buddy.
