Let me Introduce Myself

[angel_glitter_45]

My name is Kelsey. I am 20 years old ,and most of my life i have been slim until all the carbs i had been eating caught up on me ,and i am now about 200 lbs Already being on the atkins diet tho for a few days i have lost 6 lbs - 8lbs. My scale is a little messed up by a few pds so.I am looking for my goal weight of 140. I am planning on doing this in about 6 months. I have been struggling since i have started to gain and, and nothing seemed to be working till now. I am so excited i am doing this. I have heard so many success stories. It really shows
what sugar can do to a person. I wanna have a healthy body,and then once again fit into any clothes i want. I am not feeling many cravings it's more like a bond to certain foods that i am used to eating . My head usually hurts ,and the first day it was already feeling better. I just think I am off on a better journey and i shall succeed.

Hi angel. Welcome to the board. You're doing great so far! You're right about bonding with foods. It's an addiction, which this WOE (way of eating) can help get you through. By the time you've reached your goal you will have retrained yourself to omit the sugar and bad carbs and eat healthful ones instead. This is a great decision for you, a young person, to make.

Post often so we can watch your progress.

Welcome Angel! Congrats on your losses so far.

Sounds like you have the right mindset for success... you think positive! I just know we'll be applauding you at goal pretty soon.
Silly is right... starting Atkins now will give you the wonderful gift of great health for the rest of your life, so the sooner, the better!

Keep posting and telling us how you're doing!
