Hi

I know exactly how you feel Katika. I had a baby 14 weeks ago and before I had Evie I was very confident and felt great about myself. Since I had Evie I lost alot of confidence in myself and hated the idea of anyone looking at me. I have been on Atkins now for nearly 2 weeks and I have so far lost 12 lbs. It does give you a confidence boost. Keep it up and begin to feel better about yourself.

Hi welcome to the board. I'm on my 6th day of induction and feeling really confident this time around especially because I know I have support from the board. I just intrduced myself about 30 minutes ago and I'm already feeling a part of. When I started Monday I weighed in at 302lbs. I got on the scale yesterday and it registered 294lbs. Now you know I'm motivated right? Keep on pushing and definitely write me back. Oh yeah by the way my goal weight is 145lbs by 2008.

I started Atkins, AGAIN, 2 days ago. Had my daughter 17 months ago but still look pregnant at 217 lbs. size 18-20. For the last 17 months I haven't really done anything about my weight, but now I've decided it has to go!!!! I've lost 3 lbs. in 2 days so I'm fairly confident I should do well this time. Last time I lost approx. 50 lbs. and am hoping to lose 80 this time.

Katika and anyone else who needs support, my e-mail is stuarts@starband.net. I would be more than happy to give and receive motivation, recipes and support. We all have the ability to get though this weight loss. We can't allow food to rule our lives. I've felt fat and ugly for too long. I'm sick of going summer after summer seeing other girls in shorts and tank tops looking and feeling comfortable in their own skin. Well, I want to feel that way again too and I will do what ever it takes to get there. I am so greatful to have the support of everyone on this site. It gives me hope to know that there are others out there who feel/have felt the same way I do. Thank you all for your support these past couple of days. I've met some terrific people here!

Maybe we can all support each other! I am a newbie to Atkins and have learned SO much from these boards. WIthout them, I would definatley have quit because I was doing things wrong and did not know it. I would love to join a group of newbies that share successes and defeats. (Hopefully more success than defeat). and keep in touch with each other. As well as deas. excersise challenges ect. I am not sure how to post my stats with each post, but I am

43yoa
current weight 168
goal weight 135
5'6''.

Let's do this!!
