Hi everyone, My name is Lorien and I have been "stalking" this website for the past week. I gained a ton of knowledge and inspiration, so I went out and bought The New Atkins For A New You book, and decided to join this site.
Unlike many people, I have NEVER been on a diet! I have always had very little self-dicipline, so I never pursued any diets either. Being only 24, I know now is the time to start. I'm doing this for many reasons; I have a bridesmaid dress to fit into by September (eek), My boyfriend deserves a partner that he is proud to be seen with, but more than anything, I'm doing this because I've lost myself. I think my catalyst was when for about the fith time, someone asked me at work "when I was due?"...I can't describe the shame I feel when I have to reply "I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat." After seeing the success of many members, I have been assured that I could make this a lifestyle.
I just wanted to thank everyone who posted in the Before and After Picture section...that was just the motivation that I needed.
