Hi Guys and Gals,

[comfyinskin]

Hello everybody , ive been having a look at your forums and found them to be so very positive and uplifting and just felt i had to be part of it.

I tried the Atkins about 2003 and lost quite a lot of inches and i didnt go into ketosis at all, basically i took the majority of the principles and stuck with it and then i fell off the wagon with a thump , i didnt put the weight back really untill i had my last child in 2004 and i have really whacked it on this is the heaviest and unhappiest ive been in my entire life. I kid myself that im ok but inside im crying, i really do not like my outside, my insides are fine!! I have no health problems of any sort,,(according to the medical proffession) which ive been told is unsual because of my weight,, im 15 stone 8 pountd (218lb) and 5'7'.

In november 2006 i dipped my toe in Atkins and lost a stone and at xmas i just went haywire my carbohydrate addiction really gripped me and im still working on myself out of it!

I know what works for me, i know what my achilles heels are, i know where i want to be and it always comes back to Atkins,,but my downfall is organisation!! im tootling about that much i get 'starvin' real quick, get headache, shaky and reach for the first shop!

But im pysching my self up..i can feel it in my bones, i will try and get a pic of me on here, once i can work out new phone,, your pictures are inspiring!
