Smile Hi. New to Atkins and this board! I NEED this to work!

Hi everyone.
My name is Samantha, I'm 31 and from Los Angeles. I had my daughter, Kendall 3 years ago and I still haven't gotten the weight (40+ lbs off). I have tried WW but it just isn't doing it for me anymore, I'm bored with it. I am DETERMINED that this will work for me if I just put my mind to it. I started today and went grocery shopping after work for all my induction foods. Wish me luck! I'd love to be 40 lbs. down by the end of summer! (I weigh 185 and would like to get to 145, or better yet, 130!).

Glad to be here!

Hi, Samantha! Sounds like we are in the same boat! I am 184 and I would like to get down to 150. This was my first full day... and I feel alright... no different than usual.
Good for you for doing this! I have a weird, persistent determination to get this icky fat suit off. Let me know how you are doing

I hear you Sara, I am more determined than ever. I'm SO SICK of the fat, SO sick of it! We should keep in touch and help motivate each other since we both started today and have very similar goals.

Welcome to ADBB. We too had very similiar stats. I started at 182.8 and have managed to yo yo between there and about 160 for th past 3 years.

So I wanted to just give you this agvice. Take the motivation you have and run with it. Don't fall off like I did. I'm paying for it 3 years later and having a much more difficult time getting the weight off when it practically FELL off the first time. LOL

I know you can do this, and I look forward to reading about your success!!!!

Welome Samatha. It will work if you give it time and stay focused. After the 3rd day you'll see how much easier it gets. Good luck. God Bless, Joe
