    newbie needs to lose some weight

    Hi, I'm 22 and single.

    Despite a couple of dieting attempts in the past, I've been slowly putting on weight through the years.

    I'm between 5'2" and 5'3" and weigh 154. I know that I don't have a great deal of weight to lose but I'm short and I look really chunky at this weight.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello there Thighsofthunder. Welcome aboard. Glad you decided to post here on the ADBB. You'll find it's a great place for friendly advice, support and inspiration.

    Take a tour around the board and see all that's going on: Challenges, Journals, health chat, recipes, chit chat... even a private womens' forum where we can gossip about the men on the board behind their backs!! (kidding... it's for 'delicate' subjects etc. The men have their forum too.)

    Keep us posted on your progress. Here's to your Atkins success!
    Before and after:
