Hi, my name is Emily, i'm 15, 161 lb.s and have tried about every diet EVER!!
I started dieting when I was around 12, and I still am!
I lost around 7 lb.s 2 summer's ago and put it back on-then some a couple months later.
I did Atkin's last year and cant remember if I lost on it. My mom's doing it tho, so i'm going to too!
Wish me luck!

good luck Emily..I started dieting around the age of 12 also..and nothing seemed to work. It's good that you and your mom get to do atkins together..you can motivate each other. You can do it!!

Hey.
My mom and I are movating each other on trying to loose weight. We challenge each other to run on the tread mill, and not to eat carbs. The hardest part for me is not eating sweets. But if you have control over what you put in your mouth, you have a choice to loose weight.

I've been on the atkins diet for almost three months now.
It's tought to resist the yummy pizza at school lunch, or order the chocolate cake when my nine year old brother does...
but the results are marvalous and prove better then a pizza and chocolate cake combined!
keep up the good work!

School lunch periods are tough, but I disciplined myself enough to not give in.
