HELLO! My name is La~La

[La_La]

I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself to the board,

I am one of the all too common Fat Girl Stories.
I am 23 years old and wear a size 17/18 clothes.
I can't wear anything fashionable because it just doesn't look good one period. I have been in denial of how big I really am but I just slapped be across the face...

Back when I was 20 years old I was at 173lbs, I went on Atkins with a good friend of mine and got down to 153lbs, I was at a comfortable size 9/10-11. And I though, um I made it it's good for me then I stopped watching what I was eating and just not putting any effort into it. This morning my scale read 210.9 ?! Yes that's 57.9lbs Weight GAIN in 3 years...that is just absurd. I let myself get this way it was all my doing I was the one stuffing food in my mouth the wrong food. I stopped working out. But I am ready to start over again from square one. I've been around long enough thru the Atkins boards, SB board and come to see some familiar faces and they look amazing I have silently looked at their journals, read their posts, and looked at their pictures. I want to be my own success story... and would also love to make some new friends...

My sad stats...

WEIGHT: 210.9
HEIGHT: 5'6
Jeans Size: 17/18
Shirt: XXL

Re: HELLO! My name is La~La

Hey La La, I too did Atkins a while ago and lost a good amount of weight...almost 30 lbs but so NO reason just stopped and here I am back on it. I believe that everyone has a story and many are very similar so this makes it great to do it together and not be judged or criticized. At 16, I wasn't skinny but at 4'11 I weighed about 127, i was wearing a size 5 and all!!! but at 18 I got pregnant and i blew up to 199! the funny part is, i went down to 179lbs after having my daughter and just from the bad habit of eatting, i gained and I went as high as 230lbs!!!! I just wanted to give you a brief background of my situation so that maybe we can help and support each other. Now, I am 22 years old and at 211lbs - I want to get down as far as 100lbs or maybe i'd be happy with 110! remember i am very short Any how welcome to the board and hope you have another wonderful journey back to your goal!!

Thanks! Netty...



The first time around I did Atkins I had two pen pals that did it right along with me, I meet a few on board but over time we lost contact....

It helped personally because I had to in a way "report" to some one and let them know how i was doing I was always so excited to say I ate this today.. or I lost X this week... posting certainly helps a lot

If you want an email buddy just IM me! please I could really use some !
We are close to the same in weight .....so it would be awesome.. let me know... check out my Stats Journal if you would like... (click on I want my own success story link )
