Hi everyone, my names Holly, I'm 21 and I have about 60 lbs to lose, I want to do it by the end of the year because that's when I'll be launching my new business. I've already lost 5 lbs this week and even though it's a struggle to say no to some things i hope this time i can do it. i have a best friend and a sister who're helping me but all of my other friends bring on the bad influences so anyways.... good luck to me and every one of you!

Hi Holly. Welcome. So happy to see you committing to your goal and sticking to the plan. If you haven't read the book...Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, edition 2002...then I'd totally recommend reading it and forming a plan that is unique to your needs and life-style. Great that you have a few friends and sister that are willing to help you stay focused. As for the others ~ write out action plans that will help you stay focused when you are around them. Learning to say no without feeling deprived is the best way to deal with negative people. You can do it. You are surrounded by positive influences here, so use this board as often as you can to keep motivated. Best wishes...keep posting so we can cheer you on and lend support if/when you need it!
