Hi! I'm new here :)

[MandaJ]

Hi! My name is Amanda. I am a 23 year old mother of two beautiful daughters. My oldest is 2 1/2, Brooklyn Marie. She will be 3 in January. My youngest is almost 11 month old Abby Grace, who will be 1 in September.

My girls are 20 months apart which has really put me higher on the scale than I've ever been, or ever thought I'd be for that matter. I am ready for a change and I am excited to be a part of this community! I have struggled with my weight my whole life and frankly I'm just tired of being fat.

Thank you in advance for all the wonderful support I'm sure I'll receive here. Now I just need to convince my husband to do this with me!

Hi Amanda Sounds like a beautiful family Perhaps when your hubby starts seeing the results on you, he will join in?

[sallyseachange]

I agree! When your hub sees the results, you'll probably have a convert to cook for!

Welcome aboard, and happy Atkineering!

Welcome to the ADBB Amanda You will get lots of support here, that is for sure! It's also a place to come to give support where you can. Every bit helps.

As for your dh, have patience and in time he may get into it with you. My dh doesn't need to be on the program, as he's not overweight at all but... when I started on Atkins on July 17th he sure had his doubts about it all. Well I'm happy to report that he now is getting into it more and more! LOL It's funny how it can happen.. 1st you cook your induction meals.. 2nd you let them sample some of "YOUR" food (you know, the DIET food they want NO part of).. 3rd they start telling you how friggen good it tastes.. 4th they see the weight coming off and the inches.. 5th they start learning how to cook the Induction way! haha... it's pretty funny to watch them transform. Maybe some people don't or won't.. but Amanda.. it can happen!

I wish you all the best.
