  • Hello everyone!

    Hi everyone,
    my name is Fay, and I am new here.. this is my second time doing Atkins.. I lost 16 pounds last time doing induction for 4 weeks but due to some family crisis I went back to my old habits..and gained all the weight back and some more.
    I am 32 years old, from Dubai ( UAE) married, my husband is doing his post graduate studies in Germany so I am almost a single mom! I have a 4 year old daughter who is autistic.. so as you can imagine, my life is pretty hectic. I gained 60 pounds during my pregnancy and managed to lose 25 lbs so far. I still have a long way to go, but I am sure with your support and help I will be able to lose them and never find them again!

    so here are my initial stats:

    height: 5.4
    current weight: 166 lbs
    target weight: 130 lbs

    mini goal 1: 155
    mini goal2: 145
    mini goal 3: 135

    I will start THe induction phase tomorrow
    Looking forward to a new beginning, a better body and mind!
