Hi everyone.

[Jazzy]

Hi, i've been on this site for over 3 years, but never journeyed to this side. I wanted to embrace this board, and take the time to introduce myself.
My name is Jay, I'm a 25 year old female and have been struggling with weight for as long as I can remember; I was 70 lbs at 4 and have gained about 55-60 pounds every 4 years.
I have tried Atkins before. (My 1st time I lost 50lbs, hit a plateau, got frustrated, gained all plus 20lbs)!
This is my 4th time, but this time feels sooooooo different, each of the other times I have tried it was never done for ME...there was always some other reasoning behind why I did it; I didn't want to be the fattest of my girlfriends, I ran into some of my old classmates and wanted to lose weight before hanging out with them, I thought it would help me to get a boyfriend...etc. Needless to say, I failed.
But now for once, I put all of that behind me and I'm doing this for just me, I need this more than anything right now, and although I have done it a number of times before, getting my life together right now this is more important to me than anything else. I totally feel like this is it. I haven't had any of those cheat and hide it days (lying to myself about it), I haven't felt like giving up. It's been over 10 weeks and I'm feeling GREAT!
