    Hey Everyone!

    Hello there,
    My name is Kathleen and I'm joining this community because I need all of the help that I can get. I am 5'10" and I have reached an all time high of 190 lbs. I don't feel confident or sexy and I am hoping to get that back in the process of doing Atkins. Like many of you I have battled with sugar/carb addiction all of my life and have slipped back into weight gain when my addictive mind starts telling me that I can "eat like everyone else" and then I end up comatose by food and heavier than ever. I have finally realized that I need to take this SERIOUSLY, as if I was an alcoholic getting sober because truly carb addiction has severely affected my quality of life. I plan to stay in Induction for at least the next month because I know I need do and am really looking forward to connecting with all of you. Thanks, Kathleen

    Hi Kathleen,
    My name is Sharon and I could have written your introduction! I just have been feeling crummy about my appearance and need to really do something about it.

    I joined this site back in Sept. and I looked at my weight that I have in my profile and it was 11 lbs lighter. But I didn't do anything then and look where it got me. So I've started today and I'm going to lose this bulk!

    If you need a buddy I could use one too. We have about the same to lose. I'm 5' 8" and 179 as of this morning. Also my all time high
    YIKES!

    Good Luck!

    Where in Mass are you?

              Is that near Rehoboth? I think I know where that is - I'm originally from the Attleboro area

                Pretty close...it's between Middleboro and Rochester. But I work in Taunton, so that's closer to Attleboro :->
