Hello!

[ImagineIt!]

Im 17, and have had a battle with weight for a while now. Was always so skinny, untill I moved far away from a place I was happy at, so I put on the pounds like nothing else! I woke up about 3 weeks ago and thought 'Thats it!' And got myself into gear.

I weigh 13 stone right now. ( A year ago i was 11 stone ...) I started dieting about 3 weeks ago, and lost 8lbs, it was going ok, but my mum had been on atkins for about 7 months, and lost about 5 stone! Im really pleased for her So i though id give it a shot!

Started my induction last monday, and have lost 5lbs! Its great!

Im a size 16-18 ( well i fit into smaller, but it shows off my belly so i tend not to wear fitted clothes....)

So a nice size 12 would be nice, well a flat tummy anyway!

Or even some self confidence!

Will get some photos up soon And tell of my progress! ( I hope there will be some anywho!)
