  • Barakiel is a archangel king of lightning!!! And I will use that energy in here.

    Hello,
    My name is Julia.
    I am 18 years old, about to be 19 ( in September ).
    I'm 5' 9" - 174 cm, and I weight 187 lbs ( 85 kg ).
    Here is my history:
    When I was little I did a lot of gymnastic and maintained a healthy body, even if my legs ( and hips ) were always a bit bigger than normal. Then I was forced to stop, and I got huge. I started weighting 200 lbs in 2003, and with a normal diet ( those that make one starve ) I lost 44 lbs in one year. I am the queen of will-strenght if you want to know, and I am sure I can do whatever I want, as long as I try it. However, after the first year, I started to feel weak and other problems started coming, without touching on the "evil" inside me, that would come out every once in a while, because I wanted to eat. I quit, and I gained weight, and I am maintaining 187 lbs for 7 months, eating this world and another. HOWEVER, I work in the music business, and I feel in love . Do you know that feeling of "he'll never ever look at me". My self-confidence is so low, that I can't even sit without putting a pillow in front of me so others can't see my big belly and whatever. It's not good to be on stage singing and between songs hearing " but she's kinda fat... " it destroys me and I started to get into depression, that might be one of the worst diseases. So me, being a resposable person, I started looking for an efficient diet that would not only make me loose weight, but also keep it off, and without having bad consequences in my health. I heard about Atkins, and started researching. I have been researching on Atkins diet for a month and something, and I bought the book an hour ago, and I am going to start reading it. However, I wanted to let everyone know, that there's a new person going into your world, and any kind of advice you can give me is quite welcome.

    Here I go, read my book.

    Hello Julia,

    Your post caught my eye! I am also a musician (Guitarist - Vocalist). I was miserable at 295 pounds. The pictures below are my high weight, and only 25 pounds later, what a difference. My next picture will be in a couple weeks when I've hit that 50 pound mark. I always wondered what people thought about this big old fat guy up there singing. well, obviously they've noticed that I've lost over 40 pounds so far. I'm starting to get a small following, several couples who keep coming to my shows, people talk to me more, the bartenders and waiters, waitresses all say how much better my voice sounds. I perform 3 - 4 shows a week. This atkins 'diet'....no, that's not right, this Atkins 'Way Of Life' has been a huge eye opener to me. I am enjoying foods that I forgot about so many years ago. I have not 'starved' by any means, sometimes I still think I eat too much, but I'm way under my maximum levels. I have always been heavy, and always yo-yo dieted myself down to only gain it all back two folds. Now my energy levels are so high, and I'm so psyched out from playing and singing that I come home wanting to write more material, plan new songs, just loving it!

    You go girl. Don't listen to what other people say, YOU control your destiny and YOU will make it happen. Talk to others on this board. Learn from what they've done, look at the before and after pictures, read the recipes, oh yeah....cut out the sodas (Diet Coke/Coke), drink club soda on stage, drink lots and lots of water, when you think you've drunk all you can drink, drink more. Always keep bottled water with you wherever you go. You're body will get used to I swear. I never thought it would happen, but it has. I drink almost 180 oz of water a day. I'm a firm believer that this has helped.

    After all the energy you collect from this way of life, no longer will people say,....'she's kind of fat'....they will say...'Damn! That Girl Can Sing!!'

    Anyway, I hope I've helped some. I am still pretty new to this whole thing, 3 months now, but I'm hooked for life! I can't wait to hit that 100 pound loss point! Keep us all updated on your progress, everybody is awesome here and will hep where they can!

    Break a leg, and good luck!!
