hey all! im andrea and i am new to the boards. have been sort of lurking and reading over posts, an abundance of useful information here and i think being active on this board could really help me make better progress! here is my story:
im 24 years old. ive been overweight since i was about maybe 10 years old or so. the akward little fat kid hehe. i remained this way throughout middle school...thinned out a LITTLE in high school but definately wasnt thin. my highest weight was 185 my sophomore year in college.
my weight has ALWAYS been something that has consumed me, and i am constantly 'on a diet'. it is a constant source of stress, and a constant cause of my self consciousness and sometimes depression.
i lost about 30 lbs on LA weight loss, and felt great. i went up and down, back and forth for a few years....my thinnest was about 152-153 or so. my goal from the beginning was 140....but i remember feeling good about myself, and feeling pretty happy about my body at that weight.
ive sort of let myself go since then, for one reason or another. i am 5'8, and was at 163lbs. most recently, all of my clothes (even the ones i considered my 'fat' clothes) have been tight, and ive felt SOOOO uncomfortable in my own skin. i was desperate. many people i know have been on atkins and had good things about it. on 6/12 i started my induction period after reading the book. today is my 7th day and im feeling great! im currently at 158, and i am praying the scale continues on its downward spiral!
anyways, im sorry about the book i wrote. if youve read this far, thank you! i hope to get to know some of you, and become an active poster. i have MANY questions, and will be making MANY posts im sure within the next few days hehe. i am looking to learn a lot from all of you, and love the inspiration! until then!
