    Hello from Arizona

    Hello,

    My name is Jenny, I am new to your forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I just started the atkins induction diet 3 days ago. I am a little nervous doing this in public, but I know I need support. I have a huge amount of weight to lose ( a little over 200 pounds to reach my goal). I have seen many before and after pics of people who chose this program and I am pretty impressed. I am borderline type 2 diabetes and have a thyroid goiter. They had me on meds for the goiter, but I gained so much weight, I had them switch me to a natural med and I was able to loose a little weight and the goiter shrunk and they said I didn't need the meds anymore.


    SO here I am! I can't stand being this heavy. I don't feel good physically as I have to push myself to get anything done. I am off for the summer and my hubby told me to concentrate on getting healthier and losing weight. He is very supportive, I am fortunate!

    I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and to celebrate our successes as time goes on. Happy Memorial Day
    We can lose this weight! Hugs, Jenny

    This pic was in 2005, I weighed 372.

    This was taken October 2007, I weigh 375.

    I was on atkins last year in the early fall and lost about 30 pounds. I obviously gained it back...but I know this is the right diet for me as it works very good. So I am back!

                Hi brady,

                Thanks for the encouragement! So far so good. I am on day 10 of the induction. I am weighing this friday, I can't wait to see how far I have come. My hubby is doing it with me and has also lost 10 pounds so far. He is amazed at how easy it is. Have a great week.
