My name is Victoria. I'm 30 yrs old. Single mother to 4 amazing children ages 10, 8, 6, 2. I've done Atkins successfully in the past... let me give you a little background on that: In May 2005 I went to a family function and decided to weigh myself and was shocked to find I was almost 200lbs (the heaviest I've ever been)... from that day I decided to take charge and do something about it before I gained even more weight. I started Atkins for the first time June 1st, 2005. I was thrilled with the results and was down to 145lbs by the end of August!!! I became pregnant in September and decided not to do Atkins during my pregnancy but I was happy that I was only 10 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight after I had the baby... so I went back on Atkins and got right down to my pre-pregnancy weight shortly after my son was born... For the last 3 years I've been on and off low-carbing and I feel very out of control again and am convinced that my addiction to carbs is way bigger than I thought. I had such success with it the first time but in the last 3 years I haven't been able to keep it up like I did before... I end up low-carbing and then carb-binging out of the blue and it really makes me angry at myself after!!! I started again yesterday but ended up going to Mcdonald's at 3am...sigh... So today I'm determined to start over again for good!! I joined this board because I really need the support and help to keep it up. I would love advice and a few 'buddies' to help keep my focus this time.
I now weigh 170 lbs. My goal is 140lbs. I'm 5'6".
Thanks so much for reading this. Good luck everyone!!!
