    Hi there!

    Hi everyone my name is Laura, I'm 22 years old. I live in Big Bear Lake, CA. Ive tried atkins MANY times and plan on giving it a try again. I have a 7 month old daughter. Ive always been a chubby girl. I'm 5' 3" and currently weight 190 (i think- dont have a scale yet) The smallest I ever was, was about 124 in middle school. I faithfully ran 3 miles every night. right now my goal is to be able to get back into my size 8 pants again. that would be about 60 lbs.

        Welcome Laura! Happy you decided to re-commit to Atkins. Maybe by posting here we'll be able to steer you towards making this a lifestyle change this time. There are so many tips, recipes, ideas etc. to be had, it really helps when you get further along in the programme and makes lifetime maintenance a breeze. Take it from someone who never intended to eat low carb for life... yet it happened!

        Congrats on your new little girl and "Happy losing"!
        Before and after:

          Hi Laura! Welcome to the board. I hope you weren't affected by the recent fires in your area. Don't give Atkins just another try, just do it so that it becomes lifestyle! Do you know the rules of induction and what foods are legal etc? Post often, it's key to keeping yourself eating on the right track, not to mention the great support!

            Hi Laura. Welcome. Since you are familiar with Atkins from previous attempts, this time you'll make it. Write out the events that caused you to quit before and make solutions to those issues that will help you get through difficult and stressful times. One of the best things you have going for you is joining this group. There is so much encouragement here.

            Get active, make friends, join the challenges, write a journal, participate in chats, and become part of this supportive community. We're here for you and want you to make your goal! Keep posting and let us know how you are doing!!

              Welcome Laura!!! I'm really glad you came back to Atkins and decided to try again, that's wonderful

              Well, I'm Stephanie...I am about to turn 22, and I am also a MOm and I too have always been a chubby girl. LOL. The first time I did Atkins, I was 190 pounds and I lost fairly quickly..but I kept sabotaging my own efforts and here I am, 2 years later, getting back on board!!!! So I know where you are coming from. LOL

              My daughter is 8 1/2 months and I have a 2 1/2 year old son also!!

              It sounds like we have a lot in common, both chubby young moms. LOL. I hope i see you around the board, I think we will become good friends =]

              Good Luck and have a great weekend!!

                  Welcome Laura! I have a 5 year old and a 1 year old, so I know how hard it is to focus on yourself. Stick with it! I have found when I want to quit I come to this site and read about others going through the same struggles, and it helps!

                  I'll be watching for your progress!
