Default Hello from Arizona

Hello,

My name is Jenny, I am new to your forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I just started the atkins induction diet 3 days ago. I am a little nervous doing this in public, but I know I need support. I have a huge amount of weight to lose ( a little over 200 pounds to reach my goal). I have seen many before and after pics of people who chose this program and I am pretty impressed. I am borderline type 2 diabetes and have a thyroid goiter. They had me on meds for the goiter, but I gained so much weight, I had them switch me to a natural med and I was able to loose a little weight and the goiter shrunk and they said I didn't need the meds anymore.


SO here I am! I can't stand being this heavy. I don't feel good physically as I have to push myself to get anything done. I am off for the summer and my hubby told me to concentrate on getting healthier and losing weight. He is very supportive, I am fortunate!

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and to celebrate our successes as time goes on. Happy Memorial Day

This pic was in 2005, I weighed 372.

This was taken October 2007, I weigh 375.

I was on atkins last year in the early fall and lost about 30 pounds. I obviously gained it back...but I know this is the right diet for me as it works very good. So I am back!

Hi brady,

Thanks for the encouragement! So far so good. I am on day 10 of the induction. I am weighing this friday, I can't wait to see how far I have come. My hubby is doing it with me and has also lost 10 pounds so far. He is amazed at how easy it is. Have a great week.
