<~~Girl Going Slim..

[highlyfavored259]

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Tracy, I'm from Ohio and I desperately need to lose weight! I've been carrying this fat too long and I'm ready to release it- FOR GOOD!

I'm tired of the "you're so pretty, if you were smaller you'd be gorgeous." I don't understand why people think that is a compliment.

But anyhoo, I'm a size 18, and I'm trying to reach my ultimate goal of a size 8. I know it's not gonna be easy, seeing that I am a carb addict, but I think it's possible. Hold up, let me rephrase that. I KNOW it's possible!! LOL.

Good luck to everyone else on this same journey!

Hi there,
After reading your post, I just wanna say that you are not the first to hear that saying. My ex boyfriend says the exact line to me as well..lol..
Its ok, though, right? What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.
I had just started atkins yesteraday so we're in the same boat as well. I wish you luck. I know we'll get there!

Welcome to the board! It is 'very' possible to lose the weight! You will soon lose (or rather, learn to control) your addiction to carbs because that is what Atkins is all about.

So read the Atkins Phases forum, drink your water and post often.
