Hey, Ive been on the board for months now but I never really did introduce myself. To start off my name is Courtney, Im 20 years old and I live in Ontario Canada. I started atkins when I was 16 years old, the youngest person I know to ever have done the diet, actually the only person I know "in person" to have ever done the diet with success. I started the diet June 1, 2004 at 195 pounds. I had no idea I had gained so much weight after moving out of my parents home at a young age, all the carby cheap food caught up with me. When I actually weighed myself to see the scale say 195 pounds, I cried. I had never ever weighed that much ever, and I was only 16. I found out about this diet while in the yahoo diet chat room (hehehe) from an older man who said he knew a woman who did the diet. So a week later I jumped on board ( this being after low cal, slim fast and just "watching what i was eating" ).
My whole childhood I was the little stubby girl, short and fat that no boys liked. I had few friends and parents who just kept serving us french fries and pasta.
During my first jab at atkins I had a very bad case of induction flu and became very sick, even to the point of vomiting. Sooo I ate a hole pack of crackers and made myself believe that this diet was really bad for me.
Thats when I weighed myself and saw that i was not 195 anymore I was 184 but I never wanted to be 200 pounds, I promised myself I wouldnt.
So i went back on the diet, pushed through the second round and toughed it out, that lead me to lose 45 pounds. I was the happiest that I had been in a long time.
Throughout the years I stop and and go with atkins, I always of course gain some weight back, but now that Ive started and stopped so much and grew up to learn so much more about this WOE, I hope to be here to stay , for good, 5th times a charm lol
Thanks
