    Starting a new life

    Hi my name is Jen and I am 30 years old. This is my second time with Atkins. The first time I did really well but went back to my bad eating habits. I am getting married on Nov 3rd of this year. I purchased my dress almost 2 years ago when we first were engaged and it was a tight but, I figured i would loose the weight to get into it. I stepped on the scale about 2 weeks ago and I couldnt believe where I came from to this. WOW three years ago I weighed 172 and today I weigh 254. I am doing this to get into that dress and to start my new life healthy and happy. I am so glad I found this website and the support thats here.

    Re: Starting a new life

    Hi Jen, what a great goal you have. And very achievable too! You'll get into that wedding dress I'm sure! You're very organised having a dress two years in advance of the day!
    couple of tips for you, take a look at fitday.com. I find it invaluable keeping track of food and percentages taken each day. And also take your measurements, you'll really see the difference then, even if the scales are not behaving...
