    Can't be a fat bride! ~I'm a newbie~

    Hey everyone. I am Sarah. I just turned 26 last week. I bought some DVD's that had a similar diet in it, but I thought I would try Atkins. I tried it once a few years back, but had no support from the ex, so here I am with all the support I could ever ask fro with my new fiance! we are egtting married in 8 weeks!!! I wanna lose some weight before then, but know I won't be at my goal yet.

    I am a mommy to Dean, he is 7 months and just a silly baby boy! He makes everyday so much brighter and I wanna always have him be proud of me.

    I look forward to meeting and getting and giving support through my journey!

                      I am getting married in Sept. It's not the only reason I want to lose weight, but it's a good motivator
                      Re re starting this time for good with the support of my husband. He is doing this with me.


                      Jan 25th Start Weight 228.6

                        Hi Sarah- Congrats on making the decision to change your life. I started Atkins on 5/20 and I love it. I too was 257 in April and am now 237.5 , I know you can do it. I also have the motivation of my upcoming wedding in November. I can't wait to hear your progress! Hugs, Rene
